The Mets Are Having an Extremely Un-Mets Season
Photo: Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images I can’t be the only person who takes cues for my emotional well-being from Mr. Met. Yes, fine: Technically Mr. Met is incapable of showing emotion, given that his head is a baseball, and his face that has been stitched with the rictus grin of the eternally doomed. But you can still tell what he’s feeling. When the New York Mets , whom he has loyally supported despite the sort of sustained abuse you’d never allow anyone you love to suffer through, are losing — as has usually been happening during the 59 years of his existence — he looks sad, forlorn … lost. Occasionally, Mr. Met loses his temper. Spending one’s entire life as an avatar of such a beleaguered franchise is a crazy-making enterprise, after all. These days, though, Mr. Met is not hanging his head in shame. These days, Mr. Met, alongside Mrs. Met , is taking selfies on the field, playing the trumpet atop the dugout, and generally making it feel like life’s … [Read more...] about The Mets Are Having an Extremely Un-Mets Season

0 Real Estate Following his success with opulent "Selling Sunset," the show's star now spins off the series with "Selling the OC," but first he's buying. Ashley Ludwig , Patch Staff Posted Reply NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Who doesn't love "Selling Sunset?" It's a "mashup" of luxury real estate, and now it comes to Orange County with "Selling the OC." But first, it would seem that Jason Oppenheim— the star of the show — is preaching what he's selling.

A Gothic Rock Cottage Fit for a Bat Out of Hell
Jim Steinman, who died last year at 73 , left behind one of the most distinctive catalogs of music in history, filled with chart-topping hits written for the likes of Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and Celine Dion. With songs ranging from the restless (“ All Revved Up With No Place To Go ”) to the wrenching (“ For Crying Out Loud ”), Mr. Steinman spent decades establishing himself as a sophisticated songwriter with the spirit of a teenager. “As far as Jim was concerned, life was about being forever young, and lusting after this and yearning after that,” said David Sonenberg, Mr. Steinman’s longtime friend, manager and now the executor of his estate. “He was going to be 17 forever, and in some ways he was.” But perhaps nothing evokes Mr. Steinman’s legacy like the Connecticut house where he lived alone for some 20 years — a majestic museum of the self, attached to a quaint cottage in the woods of Ridgefield. He spent years expanding and reimagining the house, transforming it … [Read more...] about A Gothic Rock Cottage Fit for a Bat Out of Hell
