He'd golf, fly, watch girls ride horses and I'd be amazed if he spent a minute of it watching TV unless it was the Army Navy game. I did some of the same things and never really cared to watch any sport on TV except soccer in Europe and Telemundo. I played sports growing up but only enjoyed playing one of them. The rest sucked. I'll admit there was something awesome watching the BTs play the machinist mates in tackle football on the pier in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia while loading and offloading HM14 and their RH-53s. The coolest thing I learned at Penn State from my fraternity brothers was to put the game on the telly and mute it while playing The Doors or any number of other albums as loud as we could. We didn't really care about the commentary and those guys were fanatics about football. Of course that's back when Pennsylvanian teams were crushing the rest of the field.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-34895169538895459702019-01-06T19:59:14.048-08:002019-01-06T19:59:14.048-08:00Oh, I have many reasons to keep her; I just don...Oh, I have many reasons to keep her; I just don't understand why she keeps me.<br /><br />PaulPaul L.

He is a super role model for kids in sports.<br />Like this: http://www.larryfitzgerald.com/helpingpeople/firstdownfund/<br /><br />I'm from the football era of the Broncos' Craig Morton, Randy Gradishar, Keith Bishop, Rick Upchurch, Steve Watson, the Orange Crush, and from the first days of John Elway....

No big deal, but it was my wife who had to get up after too few hours of sleep, arrive at the airport about two hours before the flight and then fly for around five hours to arrive at Hartsfield airport, get into town ( which is over-run with people who are attending some sports event ), get her hotel room, unpack, and then be able to go to bed to ( one hopes ) get enough sleep to work effectively tomorrow. She is the hero, the one who allows me to lounge about in the lap of luxury for ( so far as I can see ) very little return, while she journeys far and wide to keep a roof overhead and food to be eaten. If I got up with her to wish her good bye and safe trip; I then went back to bed to sleep until I woke up. Never let it be said that I wouldn't do the least that I could do.<br /><br />Paul Paul L.
