Cara has her eye on you!
Today’s “column” isn’t about darts. Its about a dog named Cara whose life began in Romania just like one of my dogs, Romy. In 2010, I adopted Romy from one of my clients’ sanctuaries in Galati. At the time she was just a …

The Sun: “Bristow calls Taylor a cheat over missed double 12.”

How flipping magnanimous!
During a recent chat a pal of the Old Dart Coach remarked of a common acquaintance, “He has a character flaw. He doesn’t like sports.”
That statement’s simplicity is astounding. In sport it’s “outhouse” to the “penthouse” – and vice versa – in a New York …

Column 94
“We celebrate the 4th because we got rid of the likes of you!”
The cry rang throughout the land…
“The British are coming! The British are coming!”
Most can identify the loudmouth as Paul Revere immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem “Paul Revere’s Ride.”

“What a difference a day makes.” 24 little hours… and an era passes.
Prophetic or pathetic, work on this effort began with quotations (and nicknames) as the centerpiece…
From “The Bard” Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet): “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name …

The world was Barry’s. He just let us live in it.
Mention the name William Shatner and the image of James T. Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise on Star Trek, comes to mind or maybe even an older Shatner doing commercials for Priceline.com. Lately Shatner has been walking …

Take this Jason Collins!
Very seldom does Toeing the Oche break a blockbuster news story.
