Growing up in New England has always meant being a Red Sox fan, and in the 70s and early 80s that meant following players including Carl Yastremski, Bill Lee, Carlton Fisk, Fred Lynn and of course Jim Rice. Rice was finally awarded a place in Cooperstown this week with his selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame this week. Rice joined fellow nominee Ricky Henderson last night on “The Late Show with David Letterman” to read a Top 10 list, “Highlights of My Hall of Fame Baseball Career.” The Boston Herald has the complete list.

Welcome to 2009! Back from a week in San Francisco at the annual Macworld Expo. Will post a wrap-up of the week soon. While you’re waiting for that, check out the live-blog page (and Twitter feed) we updated from the show floor.

Time to start posting again. See if we can get to a more regular schedule…

Great to see a Providence restaurant make Esquire’s “Best Sandwiches in America” list.

East Side Pocket, Providence – The sliced lamb gets a quick char while you pick out your toppings — any or all from a list of ten: hot sauce, hummus, tabouleh, tahini, yogurt-cucumber sauce, various veggies. Thirty seconds and six bucks later, you’re eating the best Syrian street food outside Damascus.

East Side Pocket has long been a favorite of mine. Quick, fresh and free samples!

It’s about time to get this site going again. Sticking with this layout for now, but look for some changes and additions as time goes on. Already updated the links on the right and will be adding more to the “about” page. And I’ve got a long post-MacWorld trip wrapup under construction. It should be up soon.

New design up today. Look for some color and formatting tweaks soon.

New blog is ready-for-primetime. Mostly. It’s in the right location now and ready for entries. Working on filling up the links bar. And look for format changes and other blog-related goodness in the days and weeks to come.
