News junkie. Plays well with words & food. Tickles your funny bone. Four-legged friends are family members. Lover of all things music. You'll find me on 89.7 FM GBH News.
45 years ago today, on December 8, 1980, John Lennon was murdered outside his apartment building in NYC. Sportscaster Howard Cosell broke the news on Monday Night Football. This Roger Farrington photo hangs outside my bedroom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OZU...

For some people, listening to Alice’s Restaurant is a Thanksgiving tradition. At Casa de Singer-Santoro, we take a slightly different approach. Happy Thanksgiving to all you free birds.

Thea Singer went to TJ’s and brought home pork chops and I cooked ‘em up with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. She also brought home a crispy, crunchy Caesar salad.

It's said that my Uncle Peter Santoro was the most shot at soldier at Iwo Jima. Twenty years after the war, doctors were still removing shrapnel from his back.

Thea Singer loves the new Trader Joe’s in West Roxbury. She came home with delicious frenched pork chops and a tremendous Caesar salad. I cooked.

When Thea Singer goes out with a friend, I cook what she doesn’t like. Lightly broiled local scallops over pasta in a mushroom cream sauce. No salad.

Great piece from our higher-ed king-pin Kirk Carapezza.
A unique New England college just turned 40 years old.

Every year, thousands of migrants risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea in fragile wooden boats, hoping to reach the shores of Europe. In a prison on the outskirts of Milan, inmates are transforming those discarded boats into something unexpected: musical instruments.
