Tap Out Ten; November 19, 2023

I love to write, but I don't write enough.

Sunday morning.  I know where I should be, but it isn't in the cards today.

I'll be heading to the gym here shortly.

I'm grateful for the progress on my weight since Memorial Day. 

I went for an interview with a prospective employer on Tuesday and I was able to get into a suit that I hadn't been for awhile.

Felt great and was incredibly happy.  Will be even more happier if I get that job, as I'll have to make some changes that would actually be exciting to make.  We'll see.

Busy time of year.

My run of announcing cross country meets this year is over with yesterday's NXR South.  Great event.  15 races, including the community race, but man, I was beat.

I came home, got showered and then went for a bite to eat before visiting my parents for a couple of hours Saturday evening.

I slept pretty good other than having to get up to go to the restroom in the middle of the night.

Run Thru The Woods is coming up Thanksgiving Day and then I do not have to announce again until January and March.

Not sure if I'm going to retire from everything after March or not.

I gave up three races with The Woodlands Township a couple of years ago just because I wanted my time back - and these next moves would be for the same reason.

While I've served the various communities well, I have some things I want to have the energy to do.

I want to continue to be able to run races at will and attend sporting events without having to alter my schedule for these things.  We'll see.  I'll certainly give the appropriate parties the right lead time, but for now, as I stated in a Facebook post on Friday, I'm year-to-year.

I think the thing is that I hate to walk away from things that will not be treated with the same seriousness that I give them.  So it is almost to protect the sanctity of the roles.  I might not be the best announcer, but I try to hold it to the high standards that I believe the role should have.

I really wanted to go to Austin today to see a women's basketball game in the new Moody Center, but making the drive over and back just is not in the cards.

I like going to new venues, but I think I'll go see a Rice women's game at 2 p.m. today and then Prairie View A&M at 8 p.m. this evening.  If you're at either games and you see a guy with a book, that'll be me.  And I'll be enjoying every minute of it.

Not much else going on.  Normally Waverly and I would go walking at Memorial Park this evening, but she has a lot of things to get done yesterday and today so I don't want to interrupt her efforts there.

We'll walk in the morning as I now have some time available to me that I didn't fully expect to, and I'll be broadcasting some basketball with my good friend Dan Morgan on Tuesday from Rosehill Christian and their girls tournament.

If you happen to stumble upon this, as always, keep me in your prayers that I continue to be a proper example for Christ like I should be.  I sin, I fail and am covetous of any and all prayers, other than my own seeking forgiveness from God, for me to be able to serve as I need to be.

Have a great Sunday!

"The Greatest Coach Ever: Timeless Wisdom and Insights Of John Wooden"

In Memoriam - 3/4/20
Introduction:  "Coach" - Dan Britton, Executive VP, FCA - 3/4/20
1.  Good Things Take Time - Les Steckel - 3/4/20 (We tend to forget all good things take time)
2.  Success Redefined - Jim Tressel - 3/4/20 (Success is peace of mind that is direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.)
3.  First Things First - Dave Pasch - 2/1/22 (Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.)
4.  God's Playbook - Bobby Bowden - 2/2/22 (Drink deeply from the great books; especially the Bible.)
5.  Active Duty - David Robinson - 2/5/22 (Initiative is having the courage to make decisions and take action.)
6.  Constructive Criticism - Tony Dungy - 2/13/22 (Criticism and correction differ, especially when it comes to methods and motives.  Criticism puts someone down.  Correction means I want to help.)
7.  Staying True - Tamika Catchings - 2/21/22 (Loyalty is the foundational quality that gets us through hard times.  Will we compromise our integrity when temptation is great?  Or will we remain loyal to our beliefs and core values?)
8.  Be Prepared - Gary Cunningham - 2/23/22 (I must have the drive to develop my abilities and become the best I can be so that I'll be ready.)
9.  The Hard Way - Steve Alford - 2/28/22 (There is no substitute for hard work.)
10.  The Good Fight - Sherri Coale - 3/9/22 (Fight is a determined effort to do the very best we can do.)
11.  The Honest Truth - Jerry Colangelo - 3/11/22 (Honesty is doing the things that we know are right and not giving into the temptation to do the things that we know are wrong.)
12.  Giving Up Control - Joe Girardi - 3/12/22 (God is either in control or He isn't.  I believe He is.)
13.  Count on Me - Ruth Riley - 3/18/22 (When we are reliable, others know that they can depend on us.)
14.  Do As I Do - Lorenzo Romar - 3/22/22 (A leader's most powerful ally is his or her own example.)
15.  The Real Deal - Pat Williams - 3/25/22 (Integrity in its simplest form is purity of intention.)
16.  One Purpose - Ralph Dollinger - 5/17/22 (Intentness is the ability to resist temptation and to avoid rabbit trails of destruction)
17.  Random Acts of Kindness - Denny Crum - 5/23/22 (Helping others in any way - with a smile, a nod or a pat on the back - warms the heart.)
18.  Family Matters - Kristy Curry - 5/24/22 (The most important profession in the world is parenting.  The second is teaching, and everyone is a teacher to someone.)
19.  Role of a Lifetime - Jay Carty - 5/27/22 (God made each of us unique.)
20.  Legacy - John Maxwell - 6/15/22 (Make each day your masterpiece.)
21.  Shaping Up - Doug McIntosh - 6/21/22 (As a basketball player, I wanted to be in the best possible physical condition.)
22.  The Real You - John Naber - 6/22/22 (Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity; but I call it "just being you".)
23.  Prayer Works - Napoleon Kaufman - 6/24/22 (When counseling my players who had problems off the court, I always recommended prayer.)
24.  Friends Are Friends - Jane Albright - 6/29/22 (Friends help each other; they don't use each other.)
25.  Competitive Paradox - Mike Dunlap - 6/30/22 (With competitive greatness, we can deliver our best when our best is needed; at the same time, we can make those around us better, too.)
26.  Outside the Box - Josh Davis - 7/7/22 (Resourcefulness is using our wits, proper judgment and common sense so solve problems and meet challenges.)
27.  Change of Plans - Mike Jarvis - 7/12/22 (Adaptability is being able to adjust to any situation at any given time.)
28.  The Value of Inclusion - Ernie Johnson - 7/19/22 (It is easier to reach our potential when we learn the value of including others in our quest.)
29.  The Simple Life - Kyle Korver - 7/22/22 (I've never stopped trying to do what's right.)
30.  The Greatest Word - Anthony Munoz - 7/27/22 ("Love" is the greatest word in our language.)
31.  Noble Goals - Sue Semrau - 7/28/22 (I believe we are most likely to succeed when ambition is focused on noble and worthy purposes and outcomes rather than on goals set out of selfishness.)
32.  Under Control - Junior Bridgeman - 7/29/22 (Self-control is the ability to discipline ourselves and keep our emotions under control.)
33.  The Power of Patience - Deb Patterson - 8/1/22 (Patience is the ability to wait and calmly persevere.)
34.  Slow and Steady - Bruce Weber - 10/5/22 (Most people have a tendency to look for shortcuts or at least for the easiest way to complete any given task.)
35.  Marked by Passion - Mike Singletary - 2/3/23 (Enthusiasm brushes off upon those with whom you come in contact.)
36.  Working It Out - Dr. Jim Reeve - 9/28/23 (Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning)
37.  Disciplined to Win - Marv Dunphy - 9/29/23 (We discipline ourselves so someone else does not have to)
38.  The Greater Good
39.  All for One
40.  The Greatest Coach Ever
