BOXING: Guerrero, Aydin hold colorful conference call
If respect is what Selcuk Aydin in looking for, he may want to consider going about finding it a different way. A usually routine activity took an awkward turn Thursday when Aydin chose a bizarre method of defiance and refused to participate in a conference call with Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero.
University kids home on break

Another time out to point out
Last Friday night's game between the Christopher and Monte Vista Christian football teams had the makings of a playoff collision.

Remembering the past
I recently came across a envelope full of old photos of my mom when she was a child. A relative had sent them to me after she passed away, and I guess I was not ready to look at them at the time. Now I see in the photos a beautiful child posing in front of a quaint south Boston brownstone, alongside relatives or friends whose faces I do not recognize. I remember my Irish family members as so much older than the folks pictured there. They were all characters who loved to sip whiskey and sing songs of the old country, but you would never know that looking at their stern, stiff expressions in the photos. I wonder what they were doing and saying just before the photos were taken, and I wish their names were listed on the backs. It would help me distinguish between my endless relatives named Mary.
