Bob Ryan Retires From Boston Globe After 44 Years
By Ty Duffy
"But there is something else. I occasionally come across some things I wrote years ago, and I say to myself, “I did that?” And I know in my heart I really couldn’t match that effort today. That’s all a writer needs to know. My goal is to gain personal life flexibility and to eliminate obligation. I still have the Globe part-time gig and I still have a bit more TV shelf life, how much I really don’t know. I want to do what I want to do and not do what I don’t want to do. And my wife of 43 years, the former Elaine Murray, is the perfect companion with whom to do or not do whatever it is we’re going to do or not do."
Hoping a definitive basketball book falls into the “do” category. The Globe also has a nice photo gallery we know can’t link to after getting shut out by the paywall.
