Either way you look at it. I have been away from my blog for too long. Look for some updates coming soon!!!
Missing you has made me more fond of you. You dissing me has made me more strong. Seeing you try with others and fail, I know you won't be gone for long.

I Love Football
i wanted to remind everyone the NFL season starts tonight with the Steelers and Titans on NBC. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will call the action from Heinz Field.
American football is the meat and potatoes sport of this country. With all the controversy of baseball, the individualism of basketball, with the intermittent interest in hockey and soccer football is what binds America. From Pop Warner football the Friday night high school games, we have a sport that brings people together.
There have been many that have come and gone from the sport. I will never forget one of the greatest days of my life. September 5, 1983 at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, I saw my first NFL Game. I am still in disbelief of what I saw to this day. I had seen the upper deck move on TV. I had heard the screaming fans. But until I witnessed it, I could not quantify such a happening.
Tom Landry's Dallas Cowboys were back in town to play the Super Bowl champs. There was high anticipation. This game was the first reqular season game of Darrell Green's career. Howard Cosell was chastised and later departed ABC shortly after calling Washington Redskin Alvin Garrett a "little monkey" as he made a reception. I twas also the reunion of Danny White and Dexter Manley. Manley took White out of the previous matchup in the NFC Championship game with a concussion. white was replaced by Gary Hogeboom, who later was apart of the TV show Survivor. Oh yeah the 'Boys won 31-30. We sat in Section 318 Row 12 Seats 1 and 2. White threw a touchdown pass at our end zone seats to win the game. Rafael Septian's extra point gave Dallas the advantage.
As for college football, the Wolverines are off to a winning start. Coach Rich Rodriguez has some contraversy with team practices but that will soon pass. I wish all the Wolverines the best this year. Go Blue!!!

Some Things are Worth It
After expecting yesterday to be a bad day, I learned something. You just have to play the hand that you are dealt and everything will work out. There were about three schedule conflicts that were geographically scattered. But somehow I was able to overcome the distances and timing for a perfect day. Did I mention at one point there was ZERO visibility on the interstate for several miles?
Its all about meeting goals and taking on opportunity. Focusing on the big picture of things that have to be done. Also I want to let everyone know about Marc Davis from Silver Spring, MD. This young man is working his way up the motor sports ladder.

Not Looking Forward to the Third
They say things happen in threes. In the last week I have lost a member of my high school graduating class and a person who I truly admired. Both were to sudden cardiac arrest. I am still baffled by the loss of Brian, 35 married withthree beautiful daughters. Gone, boom, just like that.

Thank You Poole
Today I return to my most favorite race track in the NASCAR circuit. But there will be something missing. Talented author and journalist David Poole will not be in the mix. Poole passed away shortly after his Sirius radio show on Tuesday morning.
Poole was not always popular with everyone all the time. I considered him Mr. Independent in NASCAR much like Lou Dobbs on CNN. Often times he would speakout for those who didn't have a voice. One incident I can remember was the rain delay confusion at Fontana, California. For what is was worth he had the back of all the fans that stuck it out through was it four days of rain. I will miss his Monday morning recaps of his travel adventures. I recall tuning into Sirius and they were still replaying shows from the previous day. It was one of those mornings, Poole had to get up early since he was on the west coast for the 7am EST show. When he arrived at the track it was a comedy of errors. He finally was able to go live on the air within a few minutes of the beginning of the show.
I could go on and on about Poole but the fact is that he is gone. I will always remember that he took to respond to an email I sent to him thanking him for his opinions and comments on motorsports. His reply was true and genuine in Poole fashion. It was simply, "Thank You." To the Poole family who dealt with him traveling and allowing him to become part of our lives I say to them, "Thank You."

Ode to the Symphony
I was fortunate enough to attend the Roanoke Symphony. They had a performance entitled "Behind the Silence." It was a moving tribute to the composers of the Holocaust. It has been a long while since, I have attend such a performance. It was breathetaking.
I was rather entrigued by some of the pieces and mezmorized by others. But one thing for sure I was both educated and well entertained by the end of the evening. I challenge each of you to take in the arts at a venue near you. It could open up a new door of opportunity.
