I don’t know if it is pride or stupidity that causes me to run my body into the ground. I must think that I am still in my twenties; far from it. At some point my body says, “Hey big boy, you may want to rest a little.” When I ignore the body, it puts…

I have been officiating futbol/soccer off and on since 1998. It does not seem that long, but WOW! I have seen a lot of soccer over the years. I have officiated children and adults of all ages and skill levels. I have enjoyed most of the games that I officiate. I am asked, “How do…

I have been listening to a lot of great music at work. Just throwing that out there. I see things happening around me; it may happen with out me, but I know that I am having a positive affect on my peers, on the campus and hopefully some of our students. I have a great…

We are almost done with the time of year that I dislike the most, the Fall. I will say that this year has been okay; it has almost been enjoyable. The one thing that I am grateful for in the Fall is the clear skies. The cool breeze clears the sky and at night the…

Life is a dance to be enjoyed. It is extremly enjoyable when you have a wonderful dance partner it is most enjoyable. Dancing is a serious of moves, pivots, dips and lifts, listen to the music and enjoy. Sometimes your foot may get stepped on, but that doesn’t stop you from dancing. I am happy…

This morning I woke up without an alarm going off, on board a boat, docked in a marina. It was a beautiful morning. There was a little nip in the air, but the sun was shining. As I was walking back down to the boat, after showering in the marina showers, I thought, “How blessed…

Well even though they lost tonight, I am grateful that the Dodgers are in the World Series. If they had not made it this far, like several previous years, I would not watch or care about the World Series. That reality is a little sad for me because my grandfather was a huge fan of…

I am grateful for something, what it is, I cannot say. I am grateful for some many different things; mostly I am grateful that this week is almost over. Tomorrow is Friday and then I have all day Saturday to do nothing, it is the sabbath, so I do not plan on doing too much….

Today was one of those days that by the end of the day I stated: “Just once I would like to come to work and here only good news”. Unfortunately that day was not today. It is okay, that day will come. I am grateful for the lessons in patience that the lord is sending…
