It's been such a rough year for my Toronto Blue Jays that I hate to even mention them, but here we go. A few weeks ago, the Jays made a trade with the Houston Astros for pitcher Ken Giles. Giles is quite the character: he once told his manager to go F-himself when he...
You can’t blame it on space aliens
During the recent Ohio Congressional election, a Green Party candidate made a boneheaded mistake. While being interviewed, the host asked him for his website address (several times), and he didn't know what it was. He had no clue whatsoever. I guess he can be...
Celebrate your wins

Lessons from Cobra Kai
A few weeks ago, I finished watching the series Cobra Kai, which is a continuation of The Karate Kid franchise from the 80's and 90's. Although I liked The Karate Kid back in the day, I wasn't sure if I would watch the new series. My expectation was it would be Daniel...
Attack of the price hagglers
The #1 excuse that people have for not hiring a coach is they don't have the money to do it. In my experience, that's baloney. They have the money, they're just not prioritizing coaching. Instead, they're choosing to bomb their livers poolside for a week somewhere...
