Day, Furyk tied for lead at The Barclays
(Professional Sports ~ 08/24/14)
PARAMUS, N.J. -- Jim Furyk doesn't see another chance to fail, only another chance to win.

Dining with Dad: Good eater of mom's good cooking
(Column ~ 08/24/14)
My dad very recently passed away, and, as I sat down to write this column, all I could think about was my dad. He was a very good eater -- because mom was a very good cook -- and there are so few things he did not care much for. He would usually pass on the Brussels sprouts and asparagus, and anything real spicy, but in general, he would eat anything that didn't eat him first...
