Curiosity, Kevspeak And What To Call A Street
by Kevin Burton I am a former fulltime newspaper reporter, but maybe my wife Jeannette would have been better than I was. Maybe much better. She stuns me with the questions she asks sometimes. She’s just so curious. Me? I am so not curious, I’ve had to come up with a euphemism …

Bengals Roar, Bills Snore, Cowboys Lose
My father used to say that NFL games were fixed. Then and now I scoff at that, but sometimes I wonder. Like Sunday, when Buffalo was so passive and so awful in a blowout 27-10 loss to Cincinnati. Maybe this is just me needing to adjust my expectations for teams as they coalesce …

My Newest Venture: Screenwriting Class
by Kevin Burton This is not exactly a call for people to get their popcorn ready, but I am now taking a screenwriting class. If I’m not a fish out of water altogether, maybe I am a saltwater fish in freshwater. Or maybe I’m an old dog learning new tricks, to mix the …
Hey You Go-Getters, It’s Not Your Day
by Kevin Burton Today is National Quitters Day. You can handle that one, right? I sure can. Even I can be a high achiever on Quitters Day. Just throw up your hands and say, “I’m out!” Why not make every day National Quitters Day? Today is also Friday the 13th. So …
Bills-Vikings Super Bowl Just Has To Happen
by Kevin Burton Right this minute, even the Seahawks fans have hope, or should I say Super Hope. The NFL playoffs start Saturday. With seven teams in each conference there are 49 possible combinations of pairings for the big game. In that strictly mathematical sense, all teams are equal. But to paraphrase …

Quibbles And Bits: Leftovers And Hoops
