He Even Kinda Looks Like Steve Martin...

In the past, I've been critical of a number of Gary Mason's Globe columns because they so often re-hashed the obvious.

Sort of like those "read the producers' quesions no matter what" interviews conducted by the Puffmaster Flash, only with ink instead of sound.

But today's Mason column about his son's coming of age, and the changes it means for him as a Dad, was actually pretty good.

A little cliched perhaps, but solid.

Better than 'Cheaper By The Dozen - 2' that's for sure.

Clearly, Mr. Mason's forte is human interest stuff, which is probably what made him a decent sports columnist.

Thus, like Cluffie, maybe he should stick to that and leave the analysis of complex issues to others.

Unfortunately, Mr. Mason's column is locked behind Fast Eddie G's subscription wailing wall here.
