Jon Stewart is Hilarious!

Don't you hate it when the facts get in the way of the message?

"This is why they're Michigan State"

It was a terrific comment made by an announcer during the second half miracle comeback by Notre Dame against MSU last weekend. When the tide started turning, one of the guys in the booth uttered the phrase, "This is why they're Michigan State." It wasn't the first large lead they've blown, and it won't be their last. However, the video below was from my favorite blown game by MSU.



Go Blue!

Life Coach

It's a term that always sounded a little goofy. To me, it was something that sounded useful for people with messed up lives, not me. I didn't need a life coach. I have a good life; I'm happy. Why would I need a life coach? A little over a year ago, my boss mentioned the idea of "life coach" to me. I didn't think all that much about it at the time. That boss has now left my company. His last day was Wednesday. As I reflect on the last few years that I've worked with him, it suddenly occurred to me that he has been my life coach. He has helped me make my life better than just good. With his advice and guidance, I've improved my health and finances, and new opportunities have opened up for me. There is no phase of my life that hasn't been improved with his influence. My boss has moved on to chase a personal dream, which I find inspiring. Now, when I need strength, I know I can ask myself, "What would Joe do?"

Thank you Joe.
