First, a follow up to an April post about sculptor Douglas Borkman’s entry in the RISD Faculty Biennial. His “installation” — a pile of rubbery hand molds — was actually a by-product of the actual work now installed at Fenway Park. You can find the ‘Jerry Remy’ underneath your feet at the Gate B plaza …
Can’t let this go by without some mention. The Pawtucket Red Sox had a great season this year, winning the Governor’s Cup for the first time since 1984 (get your T-shirts here). A crowd of about 200, including Governor Chafee and Pawtucket Mayor Grebien, celebrated in front of Pawtucket City Hall on Thursday, unveiling this …
ESPN ran a segment today on Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and how he gets his players all charged up with what the team now calls his ‘Big Game Music’. For the last couple of years before all post-season games — including last night — Tomlin has gathered his team in a room and turned …
