With Truck Day come and gone and the entire squad working out in the Florida sun at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, it's safe to say that the 2024 version of your Boston Red Sox appears to be the most uninspiring team the owners have put on the field in their 20 plus years in charge. Rafael Devers is the only sure-fire legitimate star (and the only one left from the 2018 World Championship team), with Trevor Story a possible second. Despite the vows from team leaders, including newly appointed chief of baseball operations Craig Breslow, to acquire some top-shelf starting pitchers to bolster the weakest part of last year's team, the only significant signing has been former White Sox starter Lucas Gioliti. The team also continues to make baffling moves to shed more payroll, such as Saturday's trade of reliable middle reliever John Schreiber to the Royals for another questionable minor leaguer with a spotty track record at best. The way that the Sox brass has handled the off-seaso...

  Cooper: A gentle cat I wrote this column, which was published in the February, 2024 edition of Jewish Rhode Island of Providence, RI, in memory of our beloved cat Cooper, whom we lost in January at the tender (by cat years) of 10 ½. The link to the story on the newspaper’s Website is: https://www.jewishrhody.com/stories/cooper-will-live-forever-in-our-hearts,57217? ******** We lost a beloved member of our immediate family early last month, our friendly, cuddly male cat Cooper. While some people may question calling a pet a member of their family, they clearly are. We feed them, take care of them, groom them and take them to veterinarian appointments on a regular basis. In addition, just as we did for our kids while they were growing up, we made sure Cooper and our dog Buddy both got their necessary checkups and shots. With our children adults and living on their own, my wife Lynne and I would look forward to having our pets sit next to us on the couch while watching our favori...

  The Cube, filled with 1.5 million stamps, symbolizes the 1.5 million children who were killed during the Holocaust. It's on display at the Foxboro Regional Charter School's middle school lobby.  This column on the latest wave of antisemitism and the completion of the Holocaust Stamps Project at the Foxboro Regional Charter School with the unveiling of a new exhibit called The Cube, was published in the Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024, edition of The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro, MA. The project's message rings truer than ever.
