A REAL HERO TO GO ON ABOUT

Okay. Trying to do this well. A little shaky, I guess. But that’s understandable when you’re in the presence of a wordsmith like Dirk Bluefield. And this Carlton is no slouch either.
I guess, this first time out, I’ll just kind of feel it, wing it. Keep it off the cuff and from the heart.
Let’s see.
Back some months ago, there was a lot said about, and a lot of TV bandwidth expended, going on about this fella that owned the Yankees for a good number of years.
And that’s fine. He was an important figure. Though certainly one that a person could feel a lot of ambiguity about. To say the least.
I’m not here to speak ill of those who’ve passed. Not really good form. At least that’s what I think.
But, at the time, I couldn’t help but noticing that for days the press and TV were going on about the Yankees owner.
And, about the same time. Well, actually, about a month before, John Wooden passed away.
And while I’m not even that big of a basketball fan, I’ve got to say; when I learned about the arc of his life, the type of person he was; that how great it is that a man like that was such an overwhelming sports success.
It’s about understanding the emotion order cialis and intentions behind the information. Exercise regularly, manage stress and sleep well. tadalafil online It is just that sometimes, you pre-occupy order viagra online see this link yourself in so many things at a time that giving due importance to your health goes right into the bin, in front of you. Two franchise records were set on Sunday night by the Ravens: the most touchdowns by defensive players with three and the longest winning india sildenafil streak over a rival, with their seventh consecutive triumph against the Jets. He was very good at what he did. And. He was good.
Anyhow, I thought it was kind of sad how little attention was paid to Mr. Wooden’s passing, and his life, when so much was said about someone whose impact on sports, and our life in general, was maybe not so positive.
But this isn’t really about either one of these men.
This is about Ron Santo, who just passed on the other day.
If we were thinking right, this is the sort of life we’d go on about on TV and radio for days and days on end.
Now there was a story. And there was an inspiration.
Check it out. I hope you’ll agree:
