One Reason I Love my Clients
Posted on facebook by John Shaw, webmaster for MRV Communications. Enjoy, folks!
"Word" Verification
Thanks to Katy (my blogspot resident expert), I have found in my settings where to eliminate this obnoxious features...so comment away, folks. Free and clear of the ridiculous distorted image that is supposed to spell a fake word.

As the Muck Says...
"Fellas...we learned something today. We aint gonna win 'em all."
I have yet to get the full scouting report on the game from Coach Clark, but the frosh fell 6-5 to Hart in game one today. Not all 6-5 L's are created equal, and with major question marks coming into the game, there is probably a light at the end of the tunnel. The game now is to teach these boys how to win because by the limited account that I got, it was runners stranded in scoring position and a couple key defensive lapses that did us in. I hate losing, but I love challenges. They're freshmen. They're going to screw these things up. As a staff, it's our job to fix it. We've got work to do.
Sidebar: No frosh game tomorrow...helping Coach Lauer with the JVs. Should be interesting.

Song of the Day - "Second Chance"
By my latest musical addiction...Shinedown. These guys have been around for a few years but are relatively new to me. I like the balance of the power behind the riffs and vocals with the depth of the lyrics. This particular song (which I'm learning on the guitar) is about the lead guy bailing out of his native Tennessee to pursue his rock and roll dreams. In retrospect, a great call by him.
FYI, they did an amazing cover of the previous song of the day.
My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today
I just saw Haley's Comet she waved
Said "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the Stratosphere
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry,
I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen closely, it's only for today
I just saw Haley's Comet she waved
Said "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the Stratosphere
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry,
I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
Here is my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry,
I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Best of Craigslist
This site has given so much to me...just in the past couple months. Exhilaration, aggravation, consternation...etc. You get the point. It got me into my current living situation and is now getting me out of said living situation and into a new one. But there is also the best of this greatness.
The Best of Craigslist is something that everyone should be aware of. Here is an example. Those of you who are savvy Web 2.0 people and/or work contacts, already know I have posted this on my profile there or have seen it elsewhere. Those of you who haven't...well...this is one of the best pieces ever written. It should be mandatory reading for every person on the face of the planet.
The sad thing is, the "vacuous" people with heads as "empty as [their souls]" will never figure out this post is about them. Also, they are not among my readership. Anyway, to those of you who are, enjoy this and the other greatness that is Craigslist, and I will be off reminiscing how I have lived what is described here and having nightmares about "Freddy Paws Jr" clawing at my eyeballs. Good night.
