My Mother is a Saint

My mother is a saint. She genuinely is a kind and generous human being and I’m very proud to be her kid. While most people are looking out for numero uno right now, my mom has been thinking about others and how to help them.

Her actions range from getting gift cards from local restaurants and sending them to her friends, to use now on takeout/delivery or later when we are all allowed to eat in them again (and I know it’s not lost on her that in doing this she helps to make sure the restaurants are getting some money now so that they can be open when we are all allowed out and about), to putting together food bags out of her own pantry for homeless people with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and snacks (just like the lunches she would make for me when I was in school).

She doesn’t do any of this for recognition and would probably be so embarrassed that I typed out anything out about it. I can even hear her now going, “NO!! Don't do that! Don’t post about me!!” and “well, if you do, just don’t put my name on it and most important, DO NOT put a photo of me!!”

So that’s it. That’s the post. Just me being proud of my mom.

No Phone Case, No Problem

I took my phone out of its case so I could clean the case and my god do I love a naked iPhone. I just don't want to put it back in the case. I know I probably should put it back in the case so I don't get a cracked screen... but then I remember I once dropped my case-less iPhone down a concrete flight of stairs (like the kind of massive concrete staircases in major sports arenas) and it was like nothing happened. Not a dam scratch on that thing! So for now at least, I'm gonna live on the edge! No case! Knowing full well that I will put the case back on the second I drop my phone on my nose because I don't have a good grip on it without using a popsocket.. and the popsocket is on my case... ✌

Growing the Game with an Olympic Sized Platform

“We want to grow the game and expand to new markets.”   This is a simple sentiment shared between two major professional sports leagues in the US: Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League. Another common thread between these leagues is not allowing their respective athletes play for their home countries in the Olympics. Completely putting aside the monetary implications of a mid-season two-week shutdown, not allowing their athletes to play on truly the world stage is the exact opposite of trying to grow the game and expanding to new markets.   Let’s rewind all the way back to 1986 for a minute. The International Olympic Committee had eased already eased up on “amateurism” and pulled the trigger on allowing true professional athletes to compete in the Olympics. This decision paved the way for Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and the rest of The Dream Team to compete in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. Yes, at the time Michael Jordan was...

So, Where Ya From?

"So, where ya from?" To most, it’s a simple question. An icebreaker. Small talk. To others, it is not so simple of a question. The question is asked at networking events, conferences, first dates, sorority recruitment, and even during the icebreaker games professors play to start a new semester. It is a question with the potential to launch a rudimentary bond between strangers. The question is a starting point. It’s an easy question to ask but what about the answer? Like I said before, it depends. Some people are born and raised in the same town their entire life, others move to a different city/town in the same state, and others move a bit further away. I personally was born in one city, lived in the suburbs of that city through elementary school, moved out of the state before middle school, and eventually moved to where I live now for grad school. So, when someone asks me “so, where ya from?” I don’t always give the same answer. I don’t overtly lie to them, but I might...
