Since my other post, “Isn’t Google Cool?”, I wanted to find out how other bands got their names. Here’s just a few more. - This band, formed in 1968, went under many different names. Seems they had performed pretty badly in a place, but wanted to play there again and give it another shot, so … Continue reading It’s All About the Name

My Quandary
I’m in a bit of a quandary. Or is it a dilemma? No, it’s definitely more of a quandary. See, a dilemma has a negative connotation. It implies something might go wrong. In this, I don’t think anything could go “wrong”, but I’m troubled. On Friday, 2/2/2024 I tied my Wordle Max Streak. *Side … Continue reading My Quandary
The NON-Joys of Snow
It’s been a while since we had a good snowfall. That’s not a bad thing. In my MUCH younger days, I enjoyed a good snow. It meant time off school. It meant time to play in the snow with friends. It meant sledding down a hill. But now it means only 1 thing. Ugh……. I … Continue reading The NON-Joys of Snow
Coming Back
The difference between a good comeback and a complete collapse is really just a matter of sides. Who doesn’t love a good comeback? Um … I guess Detroit Lions fans don’t. Up 17 at the half, Lions’ fans were looking at hotel reservations in Las Vegas and perhaps many had already purchased airline tickets. Nope. … Continue reading Coming Back
I Can Not
NO NO NO And again, just for dramatic effect – NO !!! I’m very excited for the Olympics. Paris 2024 Winter Olympics. I’m here for it. While the Summer Olympics are more enjoyable for me, I do enjoy The Winter Olympics. There are events I like and some that I pay no attention to at … Continue reading I Can Not
Public Enemy #1
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
Big Difference #2
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
My sport’s injury
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
BIG Difference.
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.
I Should Teach a Class
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
