The Atheletes that you'd like to root for

Drinks that are becoming very popular

Nobody knows for sure, but it's been more or less 50 years since a woman overheard Arnold Palmer order a half lemonade, half iced tea at a bar in Palm Springs and said, "I'll have that Arnold Palmer drink."

It's popular now all over the world, transcending Palmer himself. People today order an Arnold Palmer who have no idea who Arnold Palmer is. No other athlete has had a drink named after him catch on.

This, to us, seems a shame. Seems like we should be able to walk up to a bar right now and order ...

A Tiger Woods ... Pineapple juice and vodka ... Drink one and you'll want 13 more.

A Jack Nicklaus ... Kind of like an Arnold Palmer, only a little better.

A Brett Favre ... By the time it comes, you've changed your mind.

A Greg Oden ... You can order it but it never shows up.

A Mark McGwire ... Comes with a shot.

A Cam Newton ... Your dad orders it for you.

A Dennis Green ... It is what you think it is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECTt67adObI)

A Tom Brady ... Really good by the sixth round.

A Michael Vick ... A little hair of the dog that should've bitten you.

A LeBron ... Served with a mirrored glass so you can watch yourself drink it.

A Terrelle Pryor ... It's free!

A Lance Armstrong ... Only one ice cube.

A John McEnroe ... After one, you cannot be serious.

A Karch Kiraly ... Comes spiked.

A Tim Tebow ... Served very straight.

A Michael Phelps ... Water with a water chaser.

A Reggie Bush ... You drink it for a little while, then they take it back.

A Nick Saban ... Comes with extra bitters.

A Barry Bonds ... Careful: it goes straight to your head.

The Detailed Laughter in My Life

Why is it when I am in such a weird situation with life........ Sports help me smile. It's so weird. When Lew Dog's actions were revealed to us and therefore was leaving us for a 33 year old Dude in 2008..... the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series. In 2009, when Ms. LaGrant decided enough was enough and she wanted a separation, the Flyers went to the Stanley Cup Finals. 2010 and my heart has had a disastrous week. I may seem happy and cheery on the outside, but this week was the absolute worst week of my life. Yeah, my Dad is Gay and does not want any part of us. Yeah, I have a constant memory of losing my full time Teaching job that knocks at my psyche every day. Yeah, I'm Divorced at the age of ____. But you have to take the pitfalls as they come. I have friends that love me. The Wine Bar Gig makes me smile every time I walk through the kitchen door. Teaching; albeit only Substituting, gives me a chance to further my career that I love so passionately. And to put the icing on the top, Roy Halladay pitched a No Hitter in the NLDS tonight. I'll take those smiles as they come. Day to Day, week to week, month to month, year to year. My life continues.

Softball Championship

Tonight is the Championship. What we all play for in San Ramon. This is serious business people. This team has become a part of me for two seasons out of the year for the past 10 years. Last year we came home with the championship trophy and as tradition with our team Travis Marsh, our Manager, takes home the goods and adds it to the trophy case in the Church. Every year I enjoy taking home a piece of the trophy. The first year I took the ball home, another year I ripped the helmet off and took that home and last year I took the bat. It's just a little memory from a great time out with my friends. Hopefully we can bring home the goods tonight!
