A National Anthem To Remember
Monday night I watched the Indianapolis Colts play the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The national anthem was played by Chris Botti, a trumpet player who gave an unforgettable presentation. One of my favorite Colts players, Reggie Wayne, was moved to tears...
Bowling Ball Battles
I went bowling the other day with some coworkers in Chicago. We had a great time but I am really bad at bowling. I would get up to the line and with no skill or form at all, throw the bowling ball down the alley. Sometimes it would look like it was going straight down...
