We all witnessed the disaster that was Break Dancing in The Olympics. Jeez …. Who could have predicted that? Um ….. ME !!!!! But I praise the higher powers for noting that Break Dancing in itself is NOT an Olympic sport and ruled it out of the 2028 Olympic Games. Did it deserve a 2nd … Continue reading The Thrill of Victory.

The Pain Sets In
It happened both slowly and all of a sudden. Sharp and piercing at first. Then I caught myself thinking - no big deal. For a brief moment I was calmed. That could have been a whole lot worse. Then the throbbing started. No - throbbing is too soft a word. Then the constant pounding started. … Continue reading The Pain Sets In
Simply Amazing
Sometimes I’m asked, “Jim, how do you come up with these truly remarkable and well thought ideas?” Well, I don’t know. Now, when I say I am “sometimes asked", I might not actually “be asked”, but I know the person wants to ask me this question, so I just take it for granted that the … Continue reading Simply Amazing
Suck It Up Buttercup
7:00 am and there I am - Physical Therapy again. The well wishes I’ve received from all of you asking how my shoulder is doing has been, well, overwhelming !!! I’m like Sheldon, working on my sarcasm. While doing my arm bike routine to wake my shoulder up, I had a few thoughts. See, here … Continue reading Suck It Up Buttercup
She’s On The List
Yes – I do have a list. And make no mistake – it’s a real list. And once on it – that person is on it. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen – but – if it does happen, then hey, they were on the list. My list is called, “People I Want … Continue reading She’s On The List
The Forgotten
One thing about 14 (soon to be 15) year old Charlotte – she is not a morning girl. This school year, she seems to have turned the page a little. She’s a bit more conversational as we ride to school in the morning, but mostly she enjoys the quiet time before heading into school. One … Continue reading The Forgotten
OK – Nobody panic.
It’s ok. It’s going to be all right. I hear myself saying this – and I know. I know it’s not ok. It is so NOT ok. There is every right to panic. I’ll try and stay calm. STAY CALM. If panic overtakes me – I’m doomed. Doomed I say. DOOMED. NO. NO. NO. NO. … Continue reading OK – Nobody panic.
Now Hear Me Out
I get it – I do. Sometime, okay, OFTEN times, I know I border on the absurd. I know sometimes I get a little too fantastical. But not this time. This time I’m on to something. And before I talk about what I want to talk about, I did a quick Google Search so I … Continue reading Now Hear Me Out
I Like This Guy.
Sometimes I see something someone did and it amazes me. I like finding very obscure facts. And I do mean – VERY obscure. Did you know that on this blog you’ve not only found out the history behind giving someone the middle finger, but also the person behind the phrase “Bite Me!”? Who knew you … Continue reading I Like This Guy.
Go Figure
I can’t figure out women. Like every man on the planet – I’ve tried to figure women out. Can’t do it. You could write a book about the things about women that I don’t know. Of course, the writer would have to be a woman, because (reality check) no other guy really knows enough about … Continue reading Go Figure
