Thank goodness for these two girls - Post Your Comments!
In case you missed it, and I'm certain 99 percent of Americans did, two of the best thoroughbreds in history raced over the weekend. And won. Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta are two of the best ever to break from a starting gate. Unless you were tuned to TVG or HRTV, you had little chance to see the two most-talented horses currently racing.

Double Wing Levels Playing Field - Post Your Comments!
It's been called the most powerful offense in the history of football. The "Double-Wing" offense has quite a track record. Fifteen years ago, coach Don Markham transformed a Bloomington High School team (that finished 1 - 9 in 1993) into a state champion with a perfect 14 - 0 record---scoring 880 points in 14 games. The 62-point per game average set a national high school scoring record. (Read Blog)

I’m Back, Sort of - Post Your Comments!
Suffering from the most common has-been disorder, acute narcissistic imbalance with a touch of boredom, I’ve decided to un-retire for tenth time and continue the Chalk Talk Blog. I’ll be blogging during the pre-season, and throughout the fall with a few changes to the structure of the posts. We’ll feature one high school game of the week, focusing on eastern Kentucky, traditional rivalry games as well as some recruiting stuff. Part of my return is derived from the voiced frustration of the average football fan. All 12 people that read this post want to see more football coverage (Read Blog)

Thanks so much for this article. My Grandfather was a WWII vet, my Father a Vietnam vet and my Brother-in-Law and several friends are Dessert Storm Vets, not too mention the many friends and relatives I have currently overseas serving today.

Happy Birthday America! - A July 4th Challenge - 3 Comments Posted
This weekend we will celebrate America’s birthday. When I was growing up we called it “Independence Day”. Today, we simply call it July 4th. Our founding fathers were men of great vision and faith. 233 years later America is still that “shining city on a hill”. This is the greatest country in the world. Some want to call that arrogance … I call it patriotism. Some want to apologize for our history … I plan to celebrate it. (Read Blog)

Claws, Phasers & Ambigrams - Post Your Comments!
Last weekend, the wife and I were able to sneak away for a few days to catch some movies.

iPhone – Blackberry – Android – Palm Pre, who is king? - Post Your Comments!

The problem I thought I had with the phone was the keyboard and it wasn’t business phone. (Read Blog)
