   Actually, Stuart Scott popularized the phrase, but he didn’t come up with it. I grew up listening to legendary announcer Ernie Harwell on the AM radio and he used it occasionally. Note: I am not saying Ernie came up with it, I am saying Stuart Scott most definitely did not coin the phrase.

   It all works out, so long as you leverage your core values, focus on your strategic outcomes, and remain committed to your vision statement.

   Something that I have wondered is, at what point does it cease to be grave robbery and becomes archeology, 100 years, 500, etc.?

   Putting aside how you feel about the new artwork, we have to give full marks for P1, a well done homage to Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks.

   No IV going, no monitors, no tangles of wires, maybe it isn’t as bad as we thought; either that or Coach is already in hospice care.

   A fall is a pin, i.e. hold your opponent’s shoulders down for a count of 3. In the old, old days, pro wrestling would sometimes have matches that were 2 out of 3 falls and the announcer is harkening back to those days.

   So, exhibit love (in the form of concern) like you are commanded to do, and you get called “idiots” – this god is a real jerk.

   With all the challenges & chaos of my life, the symphony of my life is played by the Sex Pistols. A little Muzak every now and then would be very much welcomed!

    My Dad was a gunner on a Liberty ship and one of the few stories he told me was about how the Merchant Marine guys would constantly boast about how much money they were making compared to the pittance that the Navy was paying my Dad and his mates. We have a few photos of him during the war and there are both Navy & Merchant Marine crew in them so it’s clear that the verbal jousting was just part of how those brave men coped with being the target of both the Germans and the Japanese. Before he died we toured a restored Liberty ship and it was a blessing to hear his memories of the ships during our walk-around her. You and I were very lucky to have men like this for our fathers.
