Call Someone You Love
Check out the following link from Friday’s Rider game. It’s a behind-the-scenes look into team GM Eric Tillman presenting the game ball in the dressing room. Class act and significant words. Way more than football going on that day

Thoughts and prayers out to Darrel Davis, whose name many of you have seen in print throughout your lifetimes.
PS: That part where the players yell at him? That’s Tillman making the mistake of stepping on the team logo that’s on the floor. Nobody (not even the GM) does that–watch yourself, ET!
Daddy Days
I’m in the club!
Emmanuelle Hope Bandura made her 7 pound, 14 ouce appearance into the world on Sunday night just in time for supper. Mom and baby are both napping as I write, and I can definitely see it taking “a few” days to develop something resembling a routine around here.
For those seeking photos, below are at least a few to proof the existence of our sweet little girl.
1) The official first shot…
2) First family portait…
3) Our wonderful nurse.
4) This week’s special: Baby burrito.
5) My parents, happy to be grandparents again.
6) So sleepy…
Greatest Catch Ever?!
Calling all football fans…
YOU watch this and tell me if you can think of a better one.
Because I don’t think I can.
Learning to Listen: Stability
This powerful bit comes from Joan Chittister. If we’re free to choose our spiritual mentors, I use one of my top picks to select her.
“When the monastic makes a vow of stability it is a vow designed to still the wandering heart. There comes a time in life when everyone else’s family seems to have been better than my own. There comes a moment when having everything seems to be the only way to squeeze even a little out of life. There comes a day when this job, this home, this town, this family all seem irritating and deficient beyond the bearable. There comes a period in life when I regret every major decision I’ve ever made. That is precisely the time when the spirituality of stability offers its greatest gift.
Stability enables me to outlast the dark, cold places of life until the thaw comes and I can see new life in this uninhabitable place again.
But for that to happen I must learn to wait through the winters of my life.“
THOSE moments… I know them.
Winters of life… I’ve had those.
Stability… I seek that.
