Satisfying an obsession
Wed, September 24, 2008 @ 1:56PM
I do tend to get obsessed with things and how and what I eat doesn’t escape my compulsions. If I come across a particular meal that is satisfying to me, I might have that same meal over and over several days in a row until I’m ready to move on. I do the same with books and television programs, often to the point that it becomes unhealthy. I used to do it with crossword puzzles too, but I’ve kicked that habit and it was a bad one. It happened several years ago. Every day I would do the crossword in the Tribune, long before I began working for the paper. I tried other crosswords, but none were as satisfying. I couldn’t go to sleep at night until the crossword was completed. If I was stumped on a word and couldn’t complete the puzzle, I saved it for the next day when the answers were printed.

Circus? What Circus?
Sat, October 4, 2008 @ 6:54PM
No matter what Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge R. Scott Krichbaum said last week about doing everything in his power to keep a death penalty case in his court from becoming a circus, he may have his work cut out for him. That's because the case in his courtroom is just one of two capital cases slated to take place at the same time, and there will be reporters and photographers tripping each over each other (this one included) to run from courtroom to courtroom to cover as much of them as possible. Krichbaum is hearing the case against Michael Davis, the 18-year-old Bennington Avenue man accused of setting a fire that killed six people in his East Side neighborhood in January. As if the fact that the crime is the worst mass murder in the city's sometimes bloody history isn't enough, if convicted and sentenced to death, he may be one of the youngest death row inmates in the state, and he certainly will be the youngest ever sentenced to death in Mahoning County.

Austin Pendleton on Paul Newman
Sun, September 28, 2008 @ 2:05PM
A few years ago, I interviewed Austin Pendleton before his first appearance with the Warren Philharmonic Orchestra, and he talked about some of the highlights of his acting and directing career. He said one of his favorite film experiences, despite having only a small role, was working on “Mr. and Mrs. Bridge,’’ which starred Paul Newman and his wife, Joanne Woodward. Pendleton is busy directing “Fifty Words” Off-Broadway with Norbert Leo Butz and Elizabeth Marvel. But he took the time to respond to an email and share some of his thoughts on Paul Newman’s death Friday at age 83: “I'm going to miss that guy. I didn't know (him) that well: if you added up the time we ever had in each other's presence it would maybe be a few hours, over all these years. But he had this extraordinary ability to make you feel like you were friends and colleagues. He was funny. He was wry. He was instinctively kind, and thoughtful. He did so much good for so many people.

Taking it easy
Sun, October 5, 2008 @ 10:19AM
Waking up Sunday morning and not preparing to go to a stadium to cover a Browns' game feels strange in early October. The bye week can be good for recharging the internal batteries after covering the Browns day to day since late July, but as a longtime NFL fan I admittedly miss game day. No matter how good or bad the Browns might be, it's still exciting to see the football teed up for another game. My way of dealing with this one day of withdrawl will be to do a few outdoor chores while keeping a close watch on the games. I'm sure I'll log on to the internet a few times to follow the happenings of my fantasy team. The Browns will return to business Monday after getting three days off. The players will have their usual Tuesday off befor getting down to the serious business of preparing for the Monday night game against the New York Giants. This is the earliest the Browns have had their bye since their return to the NFL in 1999.

Halftime: Wisconsin 10, Ohio State 7
Sat, October 4, 2008 @ 9:50PM
The Badgers got physical in the second quarter and sent the Buckeyes reeling. First, strong safety Jay Valai knocked tailback Dan Herron out of the game with a blindside cheap shot. Later, Valai leveled Dane Sanzenbacher after a 23-yard reception and the Ohio State receiver fumbled. Wisconsin also got physical at the line of scrimmage, even without starting left tackle Gabe Carimi, who left the game with a knee injury. The Badgers put together a 15-play, 91-yard drive that consumed eight minutes and 16 seconds. The march ended when much-maligned quarterback Allan Evridge threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to backup tight end Mickey Turner. Wisconsin pushed Ohio State's defense all over the field field on that drive, and the Buckeyes never came up with an answer. At the heart of Jim Tressel's defense is the notion that if you make a team move the ball 80-plus yards, someone will come up with a sack or an interception, or force a fumble.

Heat bill: What to do, what to do ...
Thu, October 2, 2008 @ 1:39PM
I've been trying to figure out whether or not to lock in my natural gas rate for my home. It's a little confusing. Dominion East Ohio has announced its new rate of $9.90 per 1,000 cubic feet (mcf). Where I live, in Howland, the township has signed a contract with a company called Direct Energy offering residential customers $9.99 per mcf. However, it requires a commitment of one year with Direct Energy and it has a $30 or so fee per month. Then I read a story by the Associated Press. It says 'the natural gas industry says there should be plenty of the fuel for heating this winter and prices are likely to be about the same as last winter.' It goes on to say gas inventories at the start of winter should be 'well above' the five year average. It all comes down to supply and demand. People are cutting back, because of the economy. Try to find a wood-burning stove at a retailer in the area.
