We Remember
It is January 30th, and today marks the 8th year of the tragic killing of Upper Darby Police Officer Dennis McNamara. This year, Dennis was again remembered with a brief memorial service at Arlington Cemetery in Drexel Hill PA. Of course we had to stop by and we saw the usual faces....cop friends, detective buddies, local politicians, a reporter that we have become friendly with, and of course Dennis' widow and two kids were all there not to mourn, but to remember, embrace, and celebrate a life.
Racing for Recovery
I want to introduce you all to a friend of mine. Todd Crandell and I met several years ago when I interviewed him for a piece for Transitiontimes.com. That interview bloomed into a good friendship which brought him to Philly to race the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon.
Hold Nothing Back
I don’t ever want to find myself at the end of my days saying I should have done something or said something.

Criminal Behavior
Perhaps the title of this post is a bit bold but I have always said it’s criminal if people have the means and ability to give back and make a difference, and don’t do anything. For years I have watched the salaries of professional athletes skyrocket to the point of ridiculous, obscene, and yes – criminal.
Greatness Personified
On January 18th, I attended a funeral service for the father of a good college buddy. It is no surprise and no act of irony or coincidence that this celebration of life took place on the very day that we also celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Edwin “Mr. C.” Collins passed peacefully with his family by his side on January 11th. His eldest son Chris and I were good college friends in the early 1980s and have remained so through the years.
Ethan Zohn: Giving Back While Fighting Cancer
Next time you think you don't have the time or energy to chip in and help out a great cause, consider the case of Ethan Zohn: He's focused on raising money for cancer research even as he sits in a hospital bed, actively fighting the disease that attacked his body.
It’s Just a (Bigger) Number
The funny thing about the concept of age and the multisport athlete is that it really is just a number. We are all kids. We may feel like 150 year old kids the day after a tough event. But we bounce back like kids too.
Rambling On
Well here we are in that dead week in between Christmas and New Years. The no fly zone. Not a whole lot happens this week but it’s a nice transition period between all of the Christmas excitement and the energy that the breaking new year brings with it. I usually remain in the Holiday spirit until a few days into January and then I am ready to put everything away and fast forward the calendar to April.
