Drought
Rochester, NY 1:53 PM It is funny how certain things get at you and you place importance on attaining goals. I am as competitive as they come, sometimes to a fault, when it comes to sports. Since I’ve been in Rochester working on my writing, some of my friends have introduced me to the Texas Hold ‘Em craze. I’ve talked about it before and I’m sure you’ve seen it on ESPN, or E, or the Travel Channel. Well, now I have an individual goal to win one of these games. I’ve come close; taking second a few times, but second isn’t good enough. Hold em is on the...

Berlin 11:33 PM I type as I eat a small bowl of spaghetti. I should be in bed as I was up until 5 AM last night (girls will do that to you sometimes). I went to the gym earlier today and my bed calls, but my mind is racing. And I guess my belly is too. I got home a few minutes ago from a movie at the Little Theater, Downfall. It is the story of Hitler’s last days in Berlin. It is based on the account/notes of his secretary. This means it is based on fact with I am assuming some bending. I will not go into detail on the movie other than it is very well done and shows the Nazi empire...

Greece, NY The helicopters flew over the house again on Saturday. Things were slightly different as I drove to the Y. The parking lot where the search crews congregated now had yellow police tape and blockades around it. It had never looked like this before. As is the case, I did not stop to join the search or support the friends and family. I went to the gym, worked out, and it slipped my mind. On the return home the tape and barricades were gone. The crew was much smaller. This was how it normally went, with the hope of finding him and then the crowd dispersing with no luck. I came inside...

Rochester, NY 11:02 PM The second annual Sunday with the Master’s party came and went today. It was all that it was billed to be. A 60 degree sunny day with blue skies awaited as I woke up. I didn’t do much but watch TV last night, so I was ready. My dad and I walked down the beach this morning. It was my first walk of the Spring. I had worked out yesterday and it felt good to loosen up the joints. The TV watching crew came over after lunch. Caytie, Bryan, and Conway made it over at about 2. Uncle B came over at about 3:30. Aunt D about 4. Ron and Susan at about 4. Bryan and I...

St. Louis, MO 1:10 AM The man above has blessed my sports this year. I took part in the most amazing spectator experience of my life, walking 4 days for every shot with Shaun Micheel and his wife during the PGA Championship. I was able to see the Red Sox in Fenway go on to win it all. And now I’ve been able to see the 2005 NCAA Champions North Carolina Tar Heels. Almost a year ago I was in Chapel Hill interviewing the 30 year veteran radio announcer of the basketball and football team. I walked in to the basketball office and was greeted by Raymond Felton and Melvin Scott. I went out on...
