    Jenkins' Semi-Memoir

    Next up on the reading list. When he was on his game, he never wrote a bad sentence. He can be forgiven for his worship of Hogan. We all had our heroes. Alan Page was the greatest player to put on shoulder pads. I will not argue that. "Jack Nicklaus, comma ... "

    Anybody here ever competed in fencing?

    Stick with it and you'll have one well-defined forearm, a wrist of steal and the balance of an acrobat. One club rule I heartily endorsed was stolen from curling: The winner of the match bought the beer. You'll likely start with foil. Saber and epee are both a step up. To me, foil was the most...

    Diane Pucin cut by LA Times

    I am "old" and I was tired. So when the buyout came (Thank you, Jesus), it wasn't a hard decision. Eight weeks later, it feels as if I lost a limb. I'm probably better off than most, but as I read her email, the feelings only intensified. Yep, the new normal
