Can Spenders Become Savers?

Some of us that have been lucky enough to ‘choose’ the ‘right’ family to be born into, never wanted for anything. All of our needs were taken care of and most of our wants and desires. We got the best cars, the best clothes, the coolest gear for all our sports and activities, and all [...]

My new shirts!!!

So I decided to head down to Starbucks for a late coffee to finish up an article I’m writing for the March Primary Issue of The Texan. I ordered my coffee, doctored it up at the creamery bar and noticed a man shifting through swatches of fabric while a young woman looked on. I looked [...]

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…

What is this tea party? I love labels and how we define ourselves by these labels – Republican once, now a Tea Partier. What’s next? I could only imagine given the history of some of these labels like Bull Moose and Progressive and whatever else Glen Beck is bashing for the morning.

Texas: Call to Action

When was the last time you were involved in a fight for freedom? I don’t mean just your regular run of the mill political race. I mean a roll up your sleeves, take it to the streets, now or never campaign, waged because you know you stand to lose your way of life. You’ll lose [...]

Happy Motivating Sunday!

Waking up to Lance and Alberto trying to figure out who is better (Alberto) then clicking back to ABC to watch The Open with Watson living in another dimension and Lee Westwood grinning his way to his first Major (yes, I am making a pick for Westwood). All I need now is the annual Ironman [...]

Wouldn’t it be great if there was…

a grass that didn’t grow past a certain height! My Mother has been her 4 acres of front lawn for 4 days – hybrid bermdua with a Zoysia buffer around the house.
AND THEN! when it rains! Oh my God! Are you kidding me? It just grows and grows and grows, on and on and on…
There [...]

Sick of Magic

I am sick to death of Magic Johnson and his pathetic commerical for Rent-a-Center and Jaskon Hewitt. (I haven’t checked yet, but I am sure these companies are connected some how). Here is my issue with Magic: He is a sellout and hopefully, he does not know how much he is hurting the very people [...]

Positioning

Positioning is important in anything you do – business, marketing, football, golf, marriage (sometimes), basketball, tennis.  Do you think being in the right place at the right time is luck? Or do you think it has a little bit to do with strategy?

My Top 7 Morning Sites & Blogs

At one point in my life, I was a newspaper hound. I would read the Times, the Post, the Herald, the Morning News, the Journal, the Daily Press all by 9am in order to get my fill of useless information for the day’s activities. When I was playing golf around the world there was a [...]

The Transformation – Day 3

Just let me tell you that I did not get a real workout in and my eating was less than stellar but I did start off right with a shake and a Rev3 in the AM. Lunch was a chicken fried steak sandwich and onion rings from Maxie’s!
I should have taken a pic of my [...]

The tranformation – Day 2

What a beautiful morning in the country! You guys have got to get out of that rat race and enjoy a better life!
My transformation is slowing getting in gear. From my last post you know that it is hard to get a true ‘work out’ in for all the ‘working out’ you have to do [...]

So here I go again…

Today is the first day of the rest of my life for the next 90 days.
The goal is to transform my pudgyness into something a little more tight. So starting today I will post my food intake and exercise for the day… and I have already gotten off track.
The plan this morning was to get [...]
