Bob and I played in The Naked Truth Band together for several years. When the band broke up, still sad about that, Bob moved to Nashville to pursue his song writing dream, go Bob!
I have neglected my blog and others over the last few months, eight months to be exact. I was getting caught up and came across this video on Pvt. Gump’s site. I liked it so much, I’m stealing it. Thanks Gump!
Several years ago I gave up potato chips for Lent (I lost 10 lbs that year). I've kept this up and added to it. For the last two years during Lent I've given up potato chips, french fries and bacon. I know... why live? It's tough, especially during the last week, this week. While catching up on blogs I read a great story on bacon from justrun titled "Bacon is evil" where this video was mentioned in a comment.
A few weeks ago my sister asked me to be a substitute for Dan, my brother-in-law, in the annual St. Paul’s Father/Son basketball game. When I accepted this invite I didn’t know that it would be the Dad’s against the kids. I haven’t played Basket Ball in years and to be honest I was a bit nervous. These kids looked tough!
I ended up having a great time. Ben, my nephew, had some great shots. The Dad’s ended up winning and I sustained the only injury. I dislocated my pinky going after a loose ball. I felt it pop out and I had to tug and pull to get it back in. I’ll play next year, but I think I’ll wrap my finger up first.
Below is picture I took about three days after the game.
