    Vinyl Thread

    With the resurgence of vinyl I was surprised that there was no collective thread for All Things Vinyl. I was into vinyl as a kid in the '70s and '80s, but was an early adopter of CDs back in the mid-80s. I all but abandoned vinyl by senior year in high school, 1987. Back in 2014, I dug out...

    Best General Admission Parking

    So after years of Blue Parking, I am attending my first game as a non-season ticket holder. I purchased parking through my UConn account and it just says "GA Parking." The map isn't very helpful. The legend says Blue and Gray are gameday parking which doesn't make sense and it doesn't say...

    Anyone visited Aruba recently?

    The Warden and I are headed there at the end of September for our 25th anniversary. She booked the flights and lodging and I did my part by locating the Habanos (Cuban Cigar) shop. :D We booked a one day Jeep tour with some sights that include California Lighthouse, natural bridge, Baby Beach...

    Hot Ones Challenge

    Most people have seen or at least heard of Hot Ones on YouTube, but for those of you who haven’t, it’s a show where celebs come on and eat 10 wings in increasing levels of heat and get interviewed while they are eating. Some are extremely funny! Shaq was great as was Ricky Gervais. I was given...

    The Beatles: Get Back

    A 3-episode, nearly 8 hour documentary directed by Peter Jackson featuring in-studio audio and video that was shot in early 1969 for the 1970 film "Let It Be." So much more than that though, including a lot of raw material that became songs on Abbey Road. I thought this was an a incredible...

    McCartney 3,2,1 on Hulu

    Watched all six half-hour episodes yesterday. Just McCartney and famed music producer Rick Rubin talking about the music in front of the soundboard fading parts in and out. Not chronological, and bounces around between Beatles, Wings and his solo stuff. Extremely entertaining and cool to...

    I moved my daughter out on Saturday

    It was pretty depressing. A few kids milling about but campus is mostly desolate. As we were making our last trip out of the building we saw someone walk in and it was the only sign of life in her dorm that day. She was pretty melancholy as we drove out as she remembered what a great Spring...

    March 30, 1988

    32 Years ago today I was a Freshman who scratched together $12 for a ticket and a bus trip to the NIT Final. As I stood on the floor at MSG looking up at these two guys I never imagined what was in our future.

    OT: How about an official Boneyard movie?

    This blockbuster popped up in my ads section of the BY today. I don't know what's more exciting: The gripping tag line, "Dare to Enter, Try to leave"; the zombie poodle or the thought of Phyllis Diller and Norman Fell headlining the movie.

    Grand Cayman Tips

    My oldest daughter will be attending UCONN in the fall, so we decided to forego our usual Martha's Vineyard vacation and splurge on a trip to Grand Cayman in late June before she goes "away". We are staying at the Wyndham Reef Resort on the east side of the island, away from Georgetown and...

    OT: College Search: UCONN vs. Out of State

    I'd love to hear from people whose kids are currently in the throws of the college search as well as those who made the decision FOR or AGAINST sending their kids to our alma mater. My wife and I are both UCONN alumni ('94 Pharmacy and '91 History). We both chose UCONN because it was cheap. It...

    OT: 2017 NBA Mock Draft - State of the Game(s)

    Looking at Chad Ford's mock draft on ESPN.com today, and to me it seemed indicative of the state of both the NCAA and NBA games. Both are far less interesting to watch than they were even a few years ago. Where I used to watch several college games per week, now I watch only UCONN. Where I used...
