  • Decades ago, my father-in-law, of blessed memory, decided to spend the night with me and my wife in our small Manhattan apartment after he finished some business meetings. Looking to impress dear old dad with our maturity and independence, we cleaned and shined our two-bedroom obsessively for a week.

As someone who studies and writes about sport, the Olympics are a busman’s holiday of sorts for me — I’ve been on the ground at eight Games, written countless editorials, features, and even a book about the mega event, and always take a critical eye on everything from the organizing committee to the international sports federations, the IOC to the media coverage.

  • When hiking throughout our region, I occasionally come to a full stop, I stand under a thicket of trees, close my eyes and listen: to the wind as it tests the varied surfaces of the many leaf species; to the crickets, cicadas and bees as they perform the music of their vibrating bodies and wings which is their innate genius; to the rush of creek water rapids over silent stones.
  • Triathlon and marathon swimming are to take place in the Seine, where it has been illegal to swim for more than a century. The water has tested unsafe in recent weeks, and cleaner on other days.
  • Plans are going forward to guide the fate of the shuttered College of Saint Rose campus in Albany.
