Toast

I just toasted a piece of rye bread. In the toaster. It took a bit longer because rye bread isn’t square cut, so I put it in length-wise, then when done, I flipped it to toast the other side that was sticking out of the toaster. And it got me thinking because I had extra … Continue reading Toast →

Changing the Look

When looking into trying to improve BecauseJimSays I saw something about changing the font. Um…… nah. I don’t like serifs too much. You know, the serif, the little hooks that are on certain letters. I try not to use fonts that have them. I don’t have a choice of fonts on my blog. It changes … Continue reading Changing the Look →

It’s All About the Name

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 →
