You ever have one of “those” days? You know, a day where you felt everyone was against you? Not just 1 or 2 people, but a day where it seemed EVERYONE was against you? A day where it seemed the entire country was against you? Yes, the entire country!!! I have. Why would the entire … Continue reading Public Enemy #1
There is another big difference between coaching in a public school versus coaching in a Christian school. I don’t recall there actually being a coaching manual or handbook at the Christian High School I coached at for 10 years. *Side Note 1 – it might have been 11 years, not sure. But, if there … Continue reading Big Difference #2
Uh oh….. I overdid it. But it was worth it. Why? Because we scored a touch down. Well, maybe not “we”. But a touch down was scored. If the Lions win this game and advance to the NFC Championship game, then it was worth it. I gave it all. You could say I left it … Continue reading My sport’s injury
I was competitive in my younger days. In high school I was pretty good in track and cross country. In college I was pretty good in track, cross country was harder in college , I wasn’t made for the longer distances. And ok… I guess in high school I was kind of an ass. But … Continue reading BIG Difference.
Riding down the road, I’m often a channel surfer. My ‘go to’ is my playlist on my phone, but I don’t have BlueTooth in my truck and I need to make sure my battery is charged, so I can’t use the ox-cord because it plugs into where the charger plugs. I have the regular channels … Continue reading I Should Teach a Class
Sometimes I need an answer. I see something and it bothers me for a while. I can’t quite put my finger on it – but my inquisitive mind needs answers. I take great pride in my wings *Side Note 1 – you have read about my wings, Right? It’s taken me years and countless … Continue reading Um…. What?
It’s quite a feat to be the 1st to do something, to be remembered at the first to do something. It is something that can’t be erased. Being the 1st to do something, can’t be taken away. If it’s a sports accomplishment, perhaps a record (as in my 1st’s list #2 below), then that record … Continue reading Firsts
I watched “Friends” when I was younger. I missed a few episodes along the way - and while I wouldn’t run a stop light to make sure I watched it, it was one of my favorites. My oldest daughter Kate also likes “Friends”. She’s been to the “Friends” exhibit in Philadelphia and she had a Central … Continue reading Channeling My Joey
Of things I like to do, I’d say researching obscure facts among one of my favorite things. I’ll hear something, or see something and that leads me to want to find out other similar things. While researching these obscure facts, I will often tell Lisa, Kate and Charlotte the interesting things I have found out. … Continue reading Isn’t Google Cool ?
Yup. Sometimes I’m alone with my thoughts. That’s not always a bad thing. I have a lot to think about. Or often I have nothing to think about and my mind just wanders. And sometimes…. Well, sometimes it’s the same thing…. So, just the other day, I was driving and not listening to any music … Continue reading Alone With My Thoughts:
