Baseball Play – The game is slow. Stand in the field and wait to see if someone hits the ball to you. Hitting requires you to wait through at least 8 batters. Lots of waiting and not a lot of doing. Little physical strength is necessary. Extreme pressure placed on the individual. Bill Buckner knows [...]

I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, I have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on my way home from the odd social session over the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends [...]

I’m taking no credit for this post but I saw it on another forum and decided it was worthwhile. Just my personal opinion, but these new players look moronic. Old school rec specs were legit. AHHH, Now that’s better!

This post has no reference to the Rush song. I thought of something interesting (at least I find it interesting) yesterday. I hardly ever use status updates, likes, or participate in anything Facebook. An idea struck me that if I wanted to promote myself (and my blog), that this would be something that I should [...]

This post is a culmination of The Fountainhead, an odd move in chess, and the realization of myself. The Fountainhead is a book by Ayn Rand which praises Howard Roark for his dedication to individualism. It’s really an eye opener the way Rand displays the admiration (and disgust) of other characters in this book towards [...]

Yes. This is really corny but the Broad St run was an example of setting a goal and achieving it. I did so a tad unconventionally due to my lack of experience in longer road races compared to people I was running with. I finished under 60 minutes (59:44) and got about 160th out of [...]

I have come across two great no-so secrets that I’m willing to share with my blog audience. I just don’t see people using them as much as they should. I think the ideas apply when a skill level is involved to achieve success. Skill games like golf, chess, or poker are require practice. I will [...]

Who’s there? Not the Flyers in Game 2. I’m hoping people can appreciate this. I watched last nights entire Flyers game for the first time all season. I think that it was a perfect example of why I don’t watch hockey. I found the game to be boring, slow, and lacking excitement. I think the [...]

This was one of my more memorable weekends with the American Odyssey relay taking place described below. After that relay I got home at around midnight and woke up around 7 am so I could play golf with the Shee. We payed 75 bucks to play Lederach in Harleysville. The price seems pretty steep but [...]

I did something a bit different this weekend. I ran in a relay called the American Odyssey Relay. The relay consists of a 12 person team completing 200 miles starting in Gettysburg and finishing in Washington DC. Our team, Ambler Stampede, had two vans leave on Thursday afternoon to do the registration and we stayed [...]
