|  | Ed Okonowicz: Regional author and folklore instructor at the University of Delaware | | | | | | A monthly column in which we attempt, however futilely, to point out some of the most common mistakes in the way Americans speak and write. | | | | | | Out & About associate editor Bob Yearick will sign copies of his novel, Sawyer, at the Ninth Street Book Shop, 104 W. Ninth St. in Wilmington, on Thursday, Oct. 4, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. | | | | | | Adam Watkins has three tattoos—on his arm, leg, and back. The ones on his arm and leg he likes. The one on his back? Not so much. “It looks awful,” he says. | | | | | | Hoops fans who venture into the gymnasium at the Hockessin Police Athletic League Complex on Saturday, Oct.27 may think they’ve gone back in time. Instead of slam dunks and between-the-legs dribbling they’ll see pick and rolls, back door layups and plenty of passing. So what if the players are a little long in the tooth? | | | | | | We know. It happens. You used to hit the gym three or four times a week, but now? Not so much. | | | | | | Gabrielle Kieffer has found her way to New York’s Julliard School the traditional way: practice, practice, practice. | | | | | | A monthly section devoted to the things kids love to do, all hand-picked by our resident kid editor, Sophie DuPhily, age 12. | | | |
