This is your periodic reminder that I’m looking for someone to pay me to write about Giuseppe Petrosino, who is probably a better holiday namesake.

One of my buddies in high school was the oldest of three boys. They had the wall with the framed 8x10 of that year's school pictures. If they were mad at each other, they'd take the pictures out and put them back in upside down. If they were REALLY mad, they'd put them in backward.

We were just at a wedding where the groom's father suggested to his daughter that if she gets married, they should dance to "Killing In the Name Of." I wasn't entirely sure he was joking, and I told him it might be the greatest thing I'd ever seen.

I have lived in Northern Ohio for just about my whole life. There are STILL people who believe that "outside agitators" led to the Kent State shootings.

Stopped into Gallucci’s at 6610 Euclid Ave, a Cleveland classic that never disappoints. Chatted with Marc R. Kotora, fourth generation of the family, who started working here at 12 back in 1986. You can tell this place still means something to the city and everyone who walks through the door.

It’s just the opposite for me. They’re so terrible that watching competent football just makes me mad. It’s like the #Browns don’t even play the same sport.
