Interview with a Umpire

                                                                     

   

                                  "Nothing happens on the Football Field that's not planned"

                                                                             -The Eras Greatest Quarterback

But Tom Brady, this implies game outcomes may be determined by Referee Decisions? 

With the Superbowl approaching, eyes and ears will be on the Referees. They are fit and wear 

caps, with striped uniforms that have not seemed to have changed much. Most Football fans wear hats 

color-synced toward their favorite team.

It was only yesterday we watched magnificent Horses thunder down their field and "win by a nose."

Horse Racing fans have taken the headwear scene to a new level. Beautiful, flowing hats

worn by female fans just for the Horses and their Jockies?

WWE (Wrestling) Referees could take a vacation: Wrestlers smack each other with chairs and

objects. One may get tossed out of the roped ring. Referees do nothing? A Baseball Umpire would

 get mobbed under similar circumstances.

Fotball (Latin American) referees don't wear hats and should get Marathon Awards for scampering a

cross on such a huge field. With modesty, they hold up a Yellow Flag when they dispute something. 

The Umpire of Baseball stands with Darth Vader. Let's give the guy a vacation from his helmet and 

padding. Why not let the video and the cameras decide the balls, strikes or which "wins by a nose?"

Well, Tom Brady, which NFL coach will get the Gateraide Dunk" this season?

Disrupter II: Touchdown

                                                       

 

                                                                           " I don't run"

                                                                                                        -NFL Coach

The Super Bowl is nearly here. A coach won a game this past season. The media asked,

"Why aren't you celebrating? Your team is running off the field." His response: "I don't run."

He reserves his body for the next adventure perhaps?

Army, Navy Air Force, and Marine (Sempre Fi) Fitness Coaches are in perfect shape. They are

chosen to lead and inspire a winning attitude. Football Head Coaches appear lazy and unfit.

Meanwhile, the players are running like track stars, and "ouch" does not seem to exist.

The Cheerleaders work just as hard as players: They juggle fitness, and family and find  time to "pretty 

up" for the show. They are cheering for higher wages which has been written about. Outdoors, 

youth can be seen tossing footballs regardless of weather. They appear to be waiting for their chance.

The rest of us will be at the end. It's called  "Tailgating."

In the saga, they appear with chrome and leather. They rescue the central characters: Hopi, Rennie, Mack, and Tina. In the sequel, they make a cameo appearance. One thing the group of bikers can calculate is when it's time to hit the road. Annually, they leave family and care behind for the open road.

Lowdown on the Rundown

 

                                                 

The Apache Braves for initiation, ran up to 25 miles. This is with a mouth full of water.

They did not swallow or spit. This proved the discipline and endurance necessary for battle.

                                                                                   --Flex Flynn (All American)

                                                                                     Showdown on Devil's Tower

Here in North America there's a hint of Spring. Not the flower smell or bird songs but the

School Track Teams starting out. They start their jogs through the neighborhood. The

youth dodge un-disciplined dogs seen outrunning them and ignoring the smog. 

Track teams that whisk -by are usually all-male or all-female. Most are unaware of how

temporary the companionship and fitness level can be. Their bodies will grow into 200 lbs

from the 120 lb school track team weight. The track team works out after school.

Military Physical Training (P.T.) The field opens up at 6:00 a.m..

All sport has risks. The best-selling author of: The Big Book of Running

died during one of his jogs. What one can gather: Learn about "Target Heart Rate."

Check start time, gear, and train with  a partner, have emergency contact: First  dial (911).  

Cell Phones /Smart Watches-set.  Stay Safe! Our school system protects our youth 

keeping them in groups during the day hours. So why do adults jog solo in Central Park at night?

Enter Miss Perfect

                                                                  

                    "Time travel? What if we go back and wind up squeezed into  a Dinosuer's stomach?"

                                                                  -Tina (Miss Perfect)

                                                                    Mystery of the Green Menace

Readers will enjoy Tina. She can easily become one's favorite. She gives the teacher an Apple.

She courts favoritism. Teachers do not like to admit but they have their favorite students.

So where does it leave passionate parents of Home Schooling? Perhaps parents of several

offspring have their favorites also?  Guess who comes in first place?

For the "runners-up" on the  favoritism ladder, it's kinda like being squeezed in a "Dino's stomach."

Year of the Snake

                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                

Last week the subject was Tai Chi Chuan. That wonderful art that seems to always take

a backseat in the arts. The art supposedly started with the observation of a dual between a Crane (that 

majestic wing bird) and a snake. Biblical students recall the serpent as the instigator in the

Garden of Eden. So, snakes are reviled mostly. Environmentalists determined that snakes should thrive 

as a status of our environment.

Tai Chi practitioners state  "It's healthy and for everyone." Yet we only see villagers exhibit.

We almost never see statesmen, professionals and the like in practice. It has it's time and place perhaps?

Enthused Westerners visit the Exotic East and their enthusiasm gets tampered because people

are too busy for Tai Chi exploration and discussion . 

It's the Year of the Snake. Admire or hate it, the serpent will never be forgotten.
