This was written previously. Maybe another week, I thought. Last night was sleepless. My work kept me awake past 3 a.m. and knowing that I had to wake up by 7:00 a.m. for your neonatal appointment at 8:30 a.m., it was a recipe for disaster. Sometimes I can be a bit cranky on little sleep. […]
There are some corrections I’d like to document concerning a few of my previous thoughts. I don’t think the changes are significant, but they clarify factual inaccuracies and that’s important to me. My writings are typically from memory, and memories can be flawed as I learned in both psychology and law classes. In the “Lebron” […]
Your mom lost all of the data on her iPhone 11 Max 256GB on June 30, about a week ago. I don’t know the root cause, but she had installed an app from the App Store the day prior that could have been the culprit. Apple doesn’t appear to regulate the apps available in the […]
I’ve enjoyed sports since childhood. My mom deserves much of that credit since she was steadfast that team sports would be good for my development even if I wasn’t the most willing participant, and she made sure I went to every practice or game knowing they were out of the way. For someone who never […]
My mom re-married when I was still a child who carried around the blanket and stuffed animals that my father, my mom’s first husband, had given me before his sudden death. Neither do I have memories of his death, nor do I have memories of him. It happened when I was only two years old. […]
Today we found out that you’re a girl. My daughter. It brought tears of love to my eyes when your mom told me while we were at the hospital for your monthly check-up. What started as an ordinary day became one of the happiest days of my life. I can’t stop thinking about you, and […]
The last time I could bench press 315 pounds was in college. Most onlookers were surprised at my strength given my lean stature. I wasn’t a big guy by any means, but my body was capable of making continuous incremental performance gains unaided by dietary supplements. My pipe dream was to play professional football. Make […]
The return of this NBA season is a joke. I had thought nobody of media prominence shared my opinion until yesterday. One of my least liked sports commentators, Stephen A. Smith, said Kevin Durant would be making a mistake if he were to comeback when game play resumes because this season will always be marked […]
Nearly two decades ago I lived in a place some people would consider the boondocks. It was a bit more than an hour outside of the nearest major city, and another 15 minutes away from the highway. Sometimes I wouldn’t get home until the early morning, between 2AM and 4AM. There wouldn’t be another moving […]
Regardless of the circumstances, George Floyd should not be dead. His death is a direct failure of the attending police officers, the Minneapolis Police Department and the mayors of Minneapolis – including Jacob Frey, a Democrat – who were elected by the people. It’s evident that there is, and has been since 2012, at least, […]
