MOBILITY IS OUR BUSINESS

POETRY IS MUSIC IS POETRY 2 ME
Life should be as satisfying as this awe-inspiring music by jazz masters like Kyle TurnerJoe SampleBoney James and The JazzMasters. As a former violinist I find that I like all sorts of music... I simply prefer jazz.  
I hope you can enjoy a world of enlightenment as you check out my site.

To reveal the windows of your soul open the shutters of your blind, reflecting the mirrors of your dreams and the gateway to your mind. Then to increase the perception of an image just decrease the reception of your sight, fine tune the transmissions that you send then others'll see your natural light.

On the BCS Title Game: TEXAS almost WON!!!

The fact that Texas did not give up after Alabama took out McCoy... What does that tell you about a Champion? Forget the score and the hype and just look at the game and tell me who deserves to be #1.  I went to the Orange Bowl to support Georgia Tech 2 days prior to the Texas Alabama game and I saw no glimpses of resolve or championship in either Iowa or Georgia Tech.

It was a sad excuse for a game and Coach Paul Johnson was seriously not only out-coached but also showed he has no grasp of the dynamics of his offensive team. He has a huge stable of potent runners but... Dwyer blocks for no one while everyone blocks for him. Marcus is the fastest back and Dwyer's key blocker.  Funny how Dwyer never blocks for Marcus.  No it's NOT funny is it?  Tech deserved to lose because the coach failed to recognize the problem and make adjustments.  Texas on the other hand was dealt a huge blow, put a rookie into the game who might as well have been 56 year old Ron Means and continued to fight unwinnable odds to compete.  That tells me all I need to know and my chest is sticking out with pride probably more than it would be if we had won, I kid you not.  The game was OVER before the half and still we almost won.Gilbert did great considering the hand he was dealt and the on-the-job-training showed he has a fantastic learning curve.  If Alabama is number 1 then Texas is number 1.001.  We showed more heart and resolve.  A number 1 team would not almost lose.  Hello!

This is my "Personal" website and I hope that you can appreciate my tongue-in-cheek personality while you peruse the various links into my world. Click my photo to readMY VIEW on things that happen to me and just to be clear... I am rich in my friends and family and it shows. I already know that money will not make you rich and unfortunately one must acquire money and lose it to realize that the people you love (and who love you) are way more important than simply having some dollars to spend. 


I am easy to find IF you know where to look...

I am proud of my Dad and Mom.

When I meet people for the first time they often will inquire "Why Do You Have Your Own Site?"  My response? "Why not?  Peruse for yourself and perhaps the next time we meet we can skip the formalities and work on developing a friendship... or not.  Who knows... we might not even like each other."  Then I smile.

Too Bad Texas cannot play GaTech
My track star brother James was the 1st Black athlete to earn a letter in the Southwest Conference in ANY sport at the University of Texas in 1963.  We are all proud of him.  That said I suppose you are wondering WHY I have a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket LOGO?  My answer is because it is the WRIGHT thing to do... I support my nephew Marcus Wright who attended  San Antonio Reagan with phenomenal statistics and accolades.  Much to my consternation Coach Brown did NOT show much interest, if any, in my short but lightening fast, elusive relative.

Hook 'Em Horns (unless it's Texas vs GeorgiaTech!) 

I support the Austin Toros in MANY ways personally and professionaly and have done so since the inception 4 years ago.  This year we played the team coached by Bryan Gates who was also the first assistant coach under the late great Dennis "DJ" Johnson of Boston Celtics championship fame.  Anyway this year we played Idaho at the Concordia campus off Hwy 620 and it was definitely different on many levels.  The atmosphere was smaller but bigger too, the concessions were very inexpensive and we came from being almost 20 points down to win.
I am more proud of this team because of their unwillingness to quit. WOW.  What a team!  WATCH Toros games HERE if you cannot attend.
