Love at second sight

Watching this video this morning I felt a special glow of warmth for Marshawn Lynch:



Watching this video this evening I knew it was love:

Amazing!

A Good Point

ETA2: Another good point.

ETA: A more in depth look at the concept mentioned in the video below.

Check out this video, and a browse around the other posts is certainly worth your time.

Sports make me smile.

More Baseball Shame

Dr M is all about the gifs lately. Lucky us!

So tip o' the hat to Dr M for sending me the vid link. What's funny is that I'd already seen it. We were at Fenway over the weekend and the jumbotron was running bloopers. That one linked above was one of the bloopers. Good times!

Slow-mo Shame

Good times and giggles here.

Heyer Vortex

I can't quite figure how it happened but I have been sucked into a Heyer* vortex. All I want to be doing at any given moment is reading Heyer novels. I suspect it has something to do with the final vestiges of winter that Mother Nature is desperately trying to throw off. My winter mood (never any good at all, just ask Dr M) is slow to note the harbingers of Spring and so instead I am gloming Heyer novels in a little ball on my couch hoping the world will forget me until winter is truly gone. (Or rather, hoping I can forget the world but still, somehow, all my responsibilities will be taken care of.)

But on a non-hibernating note: Baseball is almost here! Huzzah! I am reading a fantastic (non-Heyer) book that I can't wait to rave about but it's for review so I am going to hold off until the review is posted. It's my first "must read" of this year. And, while only my instructor and I ever get truly excited about this, my horse and I are doing so well. He's such a rock star!



*Don't you just love that picture of her? So glam! It makes me wish I had known her. :)

"Thank God and Dr Pepper."

You just can't make this stuff up!



I'm gonna assume she's thanking God for her awesome chest-pass skills and Dr Pepper for the money.

Posse For Hire: A business opportunity

Dr M and I are sports fans and so we often find ourselves discussing various aspects of the sporting community. Over the last year or so we discovered a business opportunity via our observations. To wit:

Have you ever noticed how a young athlete can rocket right to the tip top of the game in a very short time and, to review, at a very young age? Have you ever noticed that athletes make way more than us regular citizens and so it's very likely that new athletes have just received a massive pay raise? Well, if so, then you've probably noticed that they don't always handle it very well. And besides the instacash, many athletes don't seem to understand that their earning potential tends to decrease with age rather than increase as is typical in most professions. All these things combine at an event horizon that can either launch an athlete into fiscal security or tip our young athletes into early bankruptcy with no thought to retirement accounts and the like. And let's be honest, many athletes have an entourage that is not exactly looking out for their best interests.

Enter Posse For Hire!

We at Posse For Hire understand that the newly rich and famous have specific needs for lifestyle and image maintenance. Let us assume the worry and responsibility for said maintenance by providing you with a professionally trained entourage. Our Posses (comprised of 2 to 20 individuals) can be specifically tailored to your needs. For example, if you are the kind of athlete that likes to have a good time in your off time then your crew can be outfitted with driver(s), wing(wo)men, bodyguard(s), personal assistant(s), and event planner(s).

Each Posse is assembled on a case by case basis with your individual needs as the starting point for your Posse. After your initial interview, Posse For Hire will provide you with our state of the art, scientifically rigorous profile so that you will understand how your Posse was formed. Any and all concerns regarding your profile will be addressed at the earliest possible time and Posses are never final. While we recommend that all clients maintain at the minimum the Newly Signed Posse (NSP includes an accountant, a life coach (life coach comes trained to identify spectacularly stupid decision making), and a business/image manager), we recognize that special circumstances may require an a la carte approach to a Posse.

Please contact Posse For Hire with any questions and to request a catalog for details on all possible Posse members.

I miss FJM

And so to sooth my achey breaky FJM-missing heart I'll just trundle over here to read my favorite FJM post again!

Enjoy!
