Lyman, The Jock — Part 2
Note: This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you desire the full meal, you might want to start with the appetizer first – Part 1.
I grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. The St. Louis football team – the Cardinals, was awful and the St. Louis basketball team, the Hawks, was decent, but the Boston Celtics of Bill Russell and Bob Cousy won it all back then just about every year.

Lyman, The Jock — Part 1
I grew up an athlete. Throughout high school and college, athletics were as important to me as music and girls.
In high school I was a decent three-sport athlete (Football, soccer and track). I did not really know the meaning of work, but the highlight was that I did play split end and defensive safety on an undefeated and unscored upon championship football team that was one of the greatest teams in the history of my school.

Clarification Of Intent
Note: The following is my response to a recent customer question. Occasionally we print these to clarify to all what might be otherwise misunderstood. The question from customer was, “Why can’t the sampled songs on your website be full songs instead of only part of the song?” The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Imagination
You can’t sell imagination in jars.
So what?
It’s already ours.
You can’t buy it in a box
Or learn it in the school of hard knocks

We Are All Responsible
I am responsible. Each of you is responsible. Not just Adam Lanza, but we as a people are responsible.
Those who war are responsible. Those who greed are responsible, for greed makes war. Those who ignore are responsible. We as a human race must take action and raise our collective consciousness up past the point where this act is impossible.

What Goes Around Comes Around
Last night I made a house call to one of my student’s apartment. I had to travel there by subway around 8:00 in the evening. While sitting in the subway in a car about one third full, I noticed a Spanish gentleman literally falling down drunk standing in the doorway holding on to the pole with both hands, but trying mightily to remain erect.

Laughing In The Face Of The Devil
I was channel surfing the other night on the tube and I came across a rock concert on AXS TV, my new favorite channel on TV’s great wasteland. It was an AC/DC concert. For those of you unfamiliar with AC/DC, they are a high voltage rock 'n' roll band that has been consistently selling-out concert tours for over 40 years now with global sales totaling more than 200 million albums.

Inventions
Several nights ago I woke up with a cramp in my calf. As I lay there trying to relax both leg and mind, I knew that the pressures of my recent days had brought me to this point of dysfunction.
Finally, being unsuccessful in letting the thoughts go and the cramp worsening, I got up, put my robe on, and left the bedroom so as not to disturb my sleeping wife.
