Despite strong starts to their respective 2025 seasons, the Mets and Yankees have played below expectations. While the guys from the Bronx have righted the ship of late, the Mets continue to sputter.

9/11 and "Life Today"

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/09/11

The first cataclysmic event I have memories of? The assassination of John Lennon. I was 6 y.o. and can still feel the heaviness of the air in school that morning. I believe that sharing memories of and from traumatic events (esp on the anniversary of 9/11) helps us cope.

OTD 1978: "The Boston Massacre" ⚾️

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/09/07

September 7, 1978. The defending World Series champion Yankees arrive in Boston for a 4-game series, not coincidentally trailing the Red Sox by 4 games. In what will be forever known in ⚾ lore as 'The Boston Massacre,' the Yanks sweep the series, crushing the Sox by scores of 15-3, 13-2, 7-0, and 7-4 to vault into a 1st place tie. The Bronx Bombers go on to repeat as W.S. champs and (at least for this fan and historian), the '78 season stands as the franchise's finest hour.

OTD 2023: Closing Time

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/08/31

August 30, 2023 represents the most action-packed day of my life. After a months-long "dance of death" (from a real estate POV), we finally closed. Despite emotional, mental, physical and psychological exhaustion, I attended that night's 4+ hr Bruce Springsteen concert (all the way in NJ).*apologies for the un-enhanced audio. The original studio recording had too many gaps due to computer error*

"An Evil Empire Will Rise"

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/08/29

30 years ago today (August 29, 1995) the underachieving New York Yankees were 54-59, 16 games behind first place Boston and seemingly buried in the first-ever Wild Card race. With just 31 games left in a strike-shortened season, the Yanks went on an incredible run, closing the season 25-6 to overtake the field and capture the first A.L. Wild Card. Although they fell short in a spectacular ALDS vs. Seattle, the resurgent franchise would go on to win 4 World Series in the next 5 years.

"The O.G. True Crime Documentary" Turns 37

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/08/26

Errol Morris' groundbreaking True Crime docu The Thin Blue Line opened 8/26/1988. "The greatest film of its kind ever made" weaves a horrifying story w/such urgency that a closed murder case in Dallas is re-opened, and an innocent man on death row has his conviction overturned. The Thin Blue Line is streaming free on Tubi and gets my highest recommendation.

HBD in memory of Sean Connery

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2025/08/25

A man who defined cool for generations, Sir Sean Connery was born August 25, 1930. When he passed in 2020, I didn't think "Bond. James Bond," or "Oscar winner for The Untouchables." I thought of Professor Henry Jones, Sr. 🥲
