Blog post 10/6/2024 Watching Tennis 

I'm watching the replay of Nole's first match at the ATP Shanghai Open. I was fortunate to see him play live once at Indian Wells. I have been taking photos of the TV since then. 🤣 The first set tie break was a symphony of exquisite execution. And that's about how his poor young American opponent must have been feeling, executed. 

It's like the Champion gives the guy a fair chance to show off their own prowess, but once he knows their limit it is over. It takes monumental effort for his opponent to win a piont from the point Nole sets his mind to winning every point. You can almost see his foot in the sand moment and the subtle added intensity in his ball bounces.

I ❤️Nole

I call him an underdog and he is by every definition of the word THE UNDERDOG in the final four this year at the ATP World Tour End of Year Championship. Back in January I told Stan I was rooting for him to make it to the final top eight players for the End of Year Championship. And a few d...

Substitute Teacher Advice for Seniors

Enjoying the Kickback Days of Life Originally published on Yahoo Voices May 17, 2014 Substitute teachers, just like everyone else, see graduation as a major rite of passage for seniors graduating from high school. From our perspective, students and teachers tend to have more than a few days of kicking back at the end of the school year, knowing with great relief that another school year is delivering another graduating class. What is my advice to high school seniors? Think of life like those last couple weeks of high school. It's finished. You know you have grown from a little kid who can't skip to a young adult who is ready to go out into the world to work or go off to college chewing gum and walking straight at the same time. Life is good. Your teacher takes off a few days towards the end of the school year and you get me, the substitute, to show you that Disney video. Your teacher left the movie as a treat for the class of students whose high school careers are done ...
