Time out

Tiebreakers

April 5, 2017

Twenty years ago, regular tennis matches consisted of the best two of three sets with the twelve point breaker played whenever a set reached six games all. Responding to the hurry up pedal to the mettle world we live in, tennis changed. The third set is now, very likely, a ten point match tie breaker. […]

Perspective

April 5, 2017

Some of our parents lived through the depression in the thirties. Mine did although I never recall them ever speaking about it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one speaks as clear as any about how challenging those days must have been. Maybe we would be wise to count our blessings daily […]

Houdini

April 1, 2017

Down 3-1 in the fifth set in Melbourne…he escapes and beats the ultra warrior Nadal. Trailing Berdych in the third set tiebreaker in Miami…he finds a way. Kyrgios is leading 3-1 in the deciding tiebreaker in the semis…Roger Houdini again comes out on top. The guy is from another planet. Enjoy it while you can […]

The eyes of a child light up the day. There is no worry for a toddler’s vocabulary has little room for such grownup concerns. Give em three meals a day, some slick looking pj’s, and their favorite baseball cap and all is good. When does the magic fade where we get caught up in the […]

First impression

Dogs are defenders. Loyal and true. It seems they are always there looking out for you. But on the first day…they can appear like a lion. Why…they’ve even been known to get the little ones crying. But sooner or later the truth becomes clear. Hardly ever will you find a friend so dear.
