Briefly. (Very. It’s Penta Day!)

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “shut the hell up.” And they weren’t even speaking!

Good morning. What a glorious day for the 28th annual Charlie Penta Memorial Golf Tournament – Penta XXVIII. Today, 338 golfers strewn over two golf courses will golf, laugh, party and together raise funds to be dispersed to the tune of $15,000 across four scholarships to Haverhill High School student athletes. The memory of Charlie Penta lives on throughout this special event. Here’s to Charlie!

What a night for Boston sports fans on Wednesday night as the Red Sox rallied from a 3-run deficit to beat the NL leading Phillies 8-6, Tom Brady was inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame and the Celtics came back from an earlier deficit to beat the Mavericks and take a commanding 3-0 in the NBA Finals!

Luca Doncic should shave his head and start over. That hairdo ain’t cutting it.

Useless information supposed to fire my imagination: For the first time in their history the Red Sox played both the AL leading team and the NL leading team in the same homestand.

My apologies for the abbreviated version today.

As Huskers’ coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) once said: “I apologize for nothing.”

You’ve got to bleed for the dancer.

Good news: Suspected opioid-related deaths in Massachusetts dropped 10% in 2023.

Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.

Be careful out there. (It’s a jungle!)

Happy National Cucumber Day! (And Happy Flag Day!)

“Take my hand, my child of love, come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I’ve been crying all these years
With our love we’ll ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe and love that never dies”

– Black Sabbath (Symptom of The Universe))
