The Off Season: The difference between having nothing to do and doing nothing

After my yard was mowed, my weeds pulled and my tiny garden hoed, I sat on our back step listening to the birds, staring off into the woods and soaking in the sun. It’s not that I didn’t have other chores to do; instead, I chose to do nothing. There’s a difference between the two.....more>>

  • B-Sides: From the Wabash Valley to the big stage
    Tim Carroll watched himself on national TV last Sunday, playing guitar alongside his wife, singer Elizabeth Cook. He heard “CBS Sunday Morning” music critic Bill Flanagan describe Elizabeth’s new album as “a real breath of fresh air.” Flanagan compared her to Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton, adding another glowing review to a list that includes Rolling Stone, The Tennessean and the New York Times.

  • B-Sides: College students in musical crosshairs
    I’m not implying this ever really happened, but …

  • The Off Season: Repeating fourth grade again …

  • B-Sides: Smoking ban legislation in Illinois awaits Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s signature
    Along with cigarette smoke, change was in the air inside the Corner Tavern on Wednesday afternoon.
    Just as Tom Keefer sat down to eat a stacked cheeseburger and fries, bartender Tina McSchooler gave him some startling news.

  • B-Sides: It’s almost like the sandlot, but not quite
    I learned to bat left-handed in a barn lot.
    It was a strategic move. I was born right-handed and had always dug into the righty batters’ box. Until, that is, our sandlot baseball games shifted to a farm pasture.

  • The Off Season: Remembering Jim Jerome: One of the best men I ever knew
    There’s a good chance that if you read this story, you’re going to smile at least a little. It’s about Jim Jerome, and if I knew him at all, I’d say smiling is what Jim most liked seeing people do.

  • B-Sides: This class of Braves is truly distinct
    Until then, no one knew the quiet kid in the back of the bus possessed such talent and poise.
    His shining moment was brief, yet unforgettable.
    During a late-1970s blizzard, a school bus full of junior high-schoolers slid off a southern Vigo County road and ended up stranded in a ditch. As the weather outside worsened, the novelty of their predicament turned from fun to panic. Help had not arrived. Some kids started to cry.

  • B-Sides: An all-star comedy show for everyone
    Somebody get Mr. Obvious on the phone. Yes, “Bob & Tom Show” fandom falls under a broad umbrella. Some fans can relate to Mr. Obvious, a popular character on the nationally syndicated radio show. Others may fall eerily close to the “longtime listener, first-time caller” who naively asks Mr. Obvious what to do about such dilemmas as a snarling animal living under the kitchen sink. (The sound is, obviously, a garbage disposal.)

  • The Off Season: Man and his mower: A love story
    As uneasy as it makes me feel, I have to admit that I’ve just recently begun to betray a relationship that dates back 20 years. I first met her two decades ago in the aisle of a local lawnmower dealership. I can remember it like it was yesterday; she was sleek, attractive, trendy, and purred like a kitten. Besides, my wife approved…
