February 7, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

Super Bowl Sunday – an American institution?

Australian Open: Women serve up drama

January 28, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

Tennis, finally It’s just after midnight in my part of the world, but I had to hang on to watch defending Australian Open tennis champion Serena Williams tough it out against China’s Li Na in two grueling sets. Serena’s serves were a thing of beauty – 12 aces in this match. But it was the […]

Man Cave Instead of Dog House?

January 22, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 22 Comments

So what’s up with this Man Cave concept? Is it a place for men to hide out in their own homes? The millennial version of the 1960s paneled private club, or a place to escape before being sent to the proverbial Dog House thus avoiding a tiff with the Missus? Man Cave, a concept whose […]

Speedos, Shorts, and Racquet Sports

January 16, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 18 Comments

“Men in Speedos need release,” he said. Now, I will not specify where this remark was made, nor the precise context. Suffice it to say that this friend is a man of impressive athleticism; he swims, he runs, he works out with focus and dedication. There was discussion of the urgent desire for enthusiastic engagement […]

Why Women Love Baseball… Movies

October 26, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 41 Comments

It’s that time of year! Major League Baseball – World Series 2009! I’m not necessarily a big fan of baseball, but baseball movies? In October? I love them!

Hot Shots

September 14, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 1 Comment

When Roger Federer won the French Open in June, I was on the west coast visiting friends. It took a 6 a.m. wake-up to watch the final, and it was worth every minute. At the time, I wrote about heroes. It was an important victory to say the least, and Federer handled his play and […]

The "Meltdown"

September 13, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 4 Comments

“Meltdown.” It’s a powerful term, and creates exceptionally vivid impressions! And that’s exactly why the media used it when describing Serena Williams’ angry response at yesterday’s Women’s Semi-Final of the US Open. Do you think it’s a fair choice of words? If someone hadn’t seen those crucial few determining minutes that ended the match so […]
