Comment on: Mayor Thomas M. Menino undergoing surgery for broken leg - Boston.com
My definition of "minor surgery" is surgery that is done on someone other than me. Best wishes to Mayor Menino on a rapid recovery.

I agree, Carey.

Comment on: Standing up for car-free development in Boston - Opinion - The Boston Globe
I think the concern that residents will have cars anyway and try to park them on the street is a very real one.

Forum Post: What do you think of a slots parlor in Danvers?
In response to ddsuburbs' comment: The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will be awarding four licenses for casinos â one for slots-only â in the next year. A 24-hour slots parlor, which would emplo more »

Comment on: In nonprofit game, many athletes post losing records - Business - The Boston Globe
@PL, many good stories are hiding in plain sight. Terrific job by Northeastern alumnus Cal Borchers.

What a disaster. I hope town officials are prepared to do everything they can to stop this. A slots parlor would be an existential threat to the community.

Comment on: Eight votes for the Hall of Fame - Sports - The Boston Globe
Totally disagree on Clemens and Bonds. Glad you're giving Schilling some love. You're right: Without Schill, the Red Sox still would be without a post-1918 title.

Comment on: Leaving the stage isnât easy - Opinion - The Boston Globe
If Mariano Rivera starts serving up meatballs, he'll still be the greatest closer ever. And if Tom Menino hasn't made a good recovery a couple of months from now, he'll still have plenty of time to ma more »

Comment on: Chick-fil-A critics should confront fast-food chain with love - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Jennifer, Northeastern (my employer) did not ban Chick-fil-A. It rescinded an invitation. We're talking about a closed student center with a limited amount of space. Doesn't it make more sense to give more »

Comment on: Chick-fil-A dust-up is smart politics for Menino - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Tom, I'll skip what you call "legal niceties" (i.e., the Constitution) and go straight to this: Truett did not invent the chicken sandwich. There have been chicken sandwiches as long as there has been more »

Comment on: Mass. should make Amazon pay sales tax - Opinion - The Boston Globe
I'm pretty sure Apple is now charging online sales tax. No reason for Amazon to get a free ride, especially when hard-pressed brick-and-mortar stores aren't exempt. more »

Another name that deserves a huge mention: Stephen Mindich, the owner and publisher of the Boston Phoenix, whose building would have been destroyed by the "New Fenway" plan. I was at the Phoenix in th more »

Comment on: Make that Congressman Kennedy - Opinion - The Boston Globe

Comment on: Kevin White, clever rogue - Opinion - The Boston Globe
Great piece, and it's good to see further vindication for Peter Lucas. It takes nothing away from the White legend to acknowledge his role. Last night, WGBH aired an edited-down version of the Lucas-R more »

Comment on: Jeers to Sharpton - Culture Club blog - Boston.com

Comment on: Radio âjokesâ expose bias against dwarfism - The Boston Globe
If you are genuinely curious as to how "midget" came to be seen as offensive while "dwarf" is not, see Chapter 7 of my book, "Little People": http://littlepeoplethebook.com/online-edition/chapter-07/ more »

Comment on: Radio âjokesâ expose bias against dwarfism - The Boston Globe
@HideNoTruths: You need to pay closer attention. I wrote that I listened to a four-minute rant from Graham about the dwarfism case that I found on the Internet from last May. You can read the whole th more »

Comment on: Parish closings inappropriate topic for Globe editorial - Gatekeeper - Boston.com
Mark, it's hard to think of a subject that the Globe doesn't editorialize about. Given that, I don't see any problem here. more »
What a great story. I love the video. I don't know Juli, but John's a friend. Best of luck to both of them!
