It appears there will be a new job hitting the NFL soon. There are some jobs in the NFL that you might not know about. I didn’t know that every NFL team had dentists on the sidelines for game days. But that makes sense. While not employed by a team, there is a guy on … Continue reading Everybody Wang Chung Tonight !!!

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
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.
Another Annoyance
Penmanship Matters. I do pride myself on my penmanship. For what good is writing something if no one can read it? But this post isn’t just about penmanship. It’s actually about how common courtesy and penmanship go hand in hand. Okay – situation – had to go somewhere this morning to do a thing. It … Continue reading Another Annoyance
Another Mystery
I consider myself a smart man. By smart, I mean that when presented with a solvable problem, I can (usually) figure it out. Give me a physics equation, then, odds are - no. But those aren’t solvable to the normal person on the street. With a set of plans, I can build stuff. Or, when … Continue reading Another Mystery
Curses.
Curses to Jeff Goldblum. Or is it curses to Seth Brundle? Either/Or – CURSES !!! It’s all starting to come together and now I need to figure out whether to embrace it or try and stop it. So, you know the story behind the 1986 movie “The Fly”. Seth Brundle, the scientist, created a teleportation … Continue reading Curses.
It’s A Mystery
As I made my breakfast this morning I had to take a second to ponder a thought. Well, it was actually more than a second – I stood there in deep thought. See, there are many questions that we’ll just never answer. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What is Heaven like? These … Continue reading It’s A Mystery
