Observations: The only bowl missing is the Toilet Bowl in Flushing, N.Y.
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from the sun room after practicing walking with a cane so I can get rid of the walker. Remember, ye old-timers, how Amos McCoy from the TV show The Real McCoys walked with a limp, flailing out his elbow? Nadine says that’s how I’m walking with the cane. Well, why […]
OBSERVATIONS: Hey, Astros, cheaters never win in the end
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from the sun room after listening to a ‘get well’ message sent to me by University of Dayton basketball player Trey Landers. What a class act, a kid who epitomizes what UD basketball is all about. —The Houston Astros can do it all on the cheating front. They used high-tech […]
OBSERVATIONS: A view from the Sun Room rocking chair
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Sun Room, staying within reach of my walker and those infernal plastic urinals. Nadine asked me today when is the best time to check my blood pressure and I said, “Well, in the hospital it was every time I went to sleep.” —QUOTE: From Ronald Dahl, “Those who […]
How you know when you are a failure
By HAL McCOY There are times in life when you realize you are a complete failure. For me, the time is now. And coming from me, a guy who has been blessed with good fortune and wonderful happenstances, that is saying a lot. But when you fail the one person you love most in life, […]
OBSERVATIONS: Odds & Ends from The Man Cave
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave while watching the University of Kentucky beat No. 1 (at the time) Michigan State. Was thorughly impressed with UK guard Tyrese Maxey.

OBSERVATIONS: The Browns are nothing but black-and-blue
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave while watching the Cleveland Browns wear football uniform costumes for Halloween and not to play winning football. They had no tricks and they are not a treat. —Call the coroner and the undertaker because the Cleveland Browns are dead and buried. The only award they will […]
OBSERVATIONS: Mostly about the Reds, Nationals and Astros
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Sun Room, gladly trying to help Nadine as much as I can (feebly) after she had her second total knee replacement surgery. After all, she has spent half her life taking care of me, a really tough assignment she accepts without a whimper. —There is a new book […]
Nationals win it all, take Game 7 from Astros, 6-2
By HAL McCOY When the Washington Nationals are seemingly down-and-out, backed into a corner and covering up, they have the opposition right where they want them. Once again displaying the resilience of a rubber band, the Nationals arose from smoldering ashes Wednesday night to beat the Houston Astros, 6-2, to win the 2019 World Series. […]
Nationals send World Series to Game 7, 7-2 over Astros
By HAL McCOY The Washington Nationals, like Mississippi mosquitoes, just won’t go away. For the fourth time in the 2019 post-season, the Nationals played a game that if they lost, their season was over. And Elimination Game No. 4 ended the same way as the previous three, a pressure-packed, gut-wrenching victory for the Nats. The […]
