Lowering That Pesky Drinking Age

Ah, one of the touchiest topics in our society today, whether or not to lower the “non-mandatory” federal drinking age from 21 to 18. The first thing that comes to mind when someone approaches me about this topic, is why someone is adult enough to fight, kill, and die for this country, can vote for the leadership positions in...

TMR Book Review: Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper

Right from the very first page, you just know that Beat the Reaper (Back Bay, 336 pp.), by Josh Bazell, is not going to be your run of the mill book. Peter Brown, a doctor on his way to work, is mugged. Or, at least someone attempts to mug the good doctor. Brown immediately explains to us in excruciating...

TMR Restaurant Review: Cedars At Foxwoods Casino

Cedars Restaurant, located at the world class Foxwoods Resort and Casino, is a dining experience you will talk about long after you return home.

Suds With Securb: Dark Blue, Bright Yellow

I remember the days when beers on TV shows looked like popular brands but were misspelled versions of the brand. Millur, Shlits and other knock off brands would appear in the bar scenes of popular shows. Once product placement came around this debacle was all over.

TMR Restaurant Review: Al Dente At Foxwoods Casino

Foxwoods Casino and Resort has no shortage of culinary choices. The venue has close to 30 different options ranging from express quick eats to gourmet dining. Think about that. You could stay at Foxwoods for a week and never eat at the same place twice. It would probably take you months to work yourself through the menus of these restaurants. In...

Proposed NFL 18-Game Season Schedule, Good For the Game, Or Just the Owners’ Wallets? (POLL)

It sounds like the NFL is getting pretty serious in their consideration of expanding the regular season to 18 games. This would be accomplished by converting two of the four preseason games into meaningful regular-season games and limiting the preseason to two games. Owners seem to love the idea while the players and NFL Players Association hate it. ...

Live Music Reveiw: Chickenfoot At Boston’s Bank of America Pavilion

It has been a big week in guitar for this writer. 48 hours after seeing guitar great Steve Miller I found myself in the audience of Sammy Hager, Joe Satriani and Chickenfoot. Unlike Miller, Chickenfoot had only one CD’s worth of music to build their set on. The catalog of the combined musicians would easily be 50 or so albums....
