Change is everywhere, except perhaps in our pockets!! Around the ivory towers of this website, it has been no different, so I thought it was time for a quick update for my loyal following … in other words, I needed to remind myself!

This article was originally published at live4Liverpool on Friday October 8, 2010, and features an interview that I was fortunate enough to conduct with a lifelong supporter of the Boston Red Sox.
Baseball may well be 'America's Game', but it certainly does not enjoy the same popularity in the UK as ...

The last few days, today especially, have offered me a perfect illustration of life’s contrasts and the beauty that all of those variations present us.

I seem to return to the word ‘bittersweet’ at the moment. I used it to describe the feelings of West Indian cricket supporters on Tuesday, and it is a very accurate means of depicting today for me.

I can scarcely believe that we're already at THAT point in the weekend ... you know, the one where we're already thinking of all the things that need doing on Sunday, and the early night before Monday - which will be here all too soon!
