This one is for my sister who blathers on continuously about how hard it is to have a baby. Amber Branson, coach of the Lipan Texas Indian’s girls basketball team, helped her girls win a state playoff semi-final game less than 24 hours after giving birth.

Remembering Dale

Posted by Bob Weber on Feb 23rd, 2011 in Inspiration, Personal | 0 comments

I’ve been wanting to post something about this since last weekend. It’s been 10 years since we lost the great Dale Earnhardt at Daytona, and I still get a little emotional when I think about it.

The most amazing thing I ever saw Dale do was in the 1991 Busch Clash. He won the first segment and had to start at the back for the second segment. By Turn 3 in the second lap he had passed the whole field to be in the lead again. It was really awesome.

“To come back leading the race after two laps was amazing to me,“ Earnhardt said. “I didn`t believe we could do it. I thought it would take King Kong to come from 14th to first in 10 laps, and I sure didn`t think we could do it in two.“

This video is from the 1993 Busch Clash where he did the same thing, although it took him a little longer to get back to the front.

What great days those were. Dale driving the Chevrolet Number 3 for GM. I remember them well, and I’ll always miss the legend.

High School Coach Makes Impossible Blindfolded Shot

Womens Basketball coach and science teacher at Olathe Northwest High School, Joel Branstrom was told he would win NCAA final four tickets for making a half court, blindfolded shot. It was a big joke, this shot is almost impossible to make. ALMOST impossible, but Branstrom made it. Unfortunately, the students at Olathe Northwest didn’t account for that – coach had to settle for a gift certificate to a Mexican restaurant.

Politics and Religion

Seems like politics is full of hot button issues these days that are considered ‘moral’ issues. Abortion, gay marriage, pornography, drinking age, etc..

Sometimes I catch some heat from friends and family members for not being more fanatical about these issues. This quote neatly sums up exactly what I think about any nanny law that attempts to address these laws.

Every man must give account of himself to God, and therefore every man ought to be at liberty to serve God in a way that he can best reconcile to his conscience. If government can answer for individuals at the day of judgment, let men be controlled by it in religious matters; otherwise, let men be free.

Are we happy?

I’m borrowing this from A Yoga Coffee Outlook. It’s a great lecture on happiness, why we are (or aren’t) happy and what conditions will help us be more happy.

Enjoy.
