Texting


Texting does have its time and place, but so many hazards accompany a texter. Texting while operating cars, motorcycles, and lawn mowers is absolutely stupid. Not only are you putting yourself in danger, but those around you usually suffer. Texting in school or at work is wrong also. Todays younger people have ruined texting. It seems to now be a way of life. This idiot in the video should be banned from driving for life. If we chopped off his fingers he'd probably resort to using his nose or ----. Stay safe out there

The Story Behind the Song "How He Loves Us"



My kids just told me the story behind the song How he loves us.It has preoccupied me for days now and thought I would publish it so I could refer to it time and again. That's all I need to say about this post other than this other video of Kim Walker is my favorite version to date and I'm wearing out my ipod playing it.
Bottom Line: Oh How He Loves Us.



Enjoy

Not Yogi the Bear--- Yogi the Yankee


This old fart(Yogi Berra) was a catcher for the New York Yankees for many years . The press loved him. He was always good for a quote.He just said exactly what he meant. He didn't sugar cote anything.
Some of my favorite Yogiisms are:
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.


All pitchers are liars or crybabies.


Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.


Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.


Even Napoleon had his Watergate.


Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.


He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

How can you think and hit at the same time?


I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.


I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary.


I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?


I never said most of the things I said.


I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.


I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question.


I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.


If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em.


If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.


If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.




If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

In baseball, you don't know nothing.


In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

It ain't over till it's over
.
the heat, it's the humility.


It gets late early out there.


It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.


It's like deja-vu, all over again.


It's pretty far, but it doesn't seem like it.


Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.


Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.


Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and remember what Yogi said. "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

80


This past week my father reached the 80 years old milestone. He took me to my first baseball practice. He converted to catholicism so he could help coach my football team.He went to all my basketball practices and never missed a track meet. I realize how lucky I am to have a father able to make it to all my sporting events, banquets,graduations and vacations.
We would take the motorcycles to Florida and cruise Daytona. We went to car races both nascar and indy. We went to time trials and at one time he owned a small share of an indy car.
After I grew up, he went to all 3 kids games and graduations. There is much to be learned from a man of 80 years.There are times in my life(at 53) that I don't have a clue. Hopefully I am growing wiser as I age. So if you see the old man around tell him "Happy 80". He's a good one.
