Despite me parking on the correct side of the street on BOTH Monday AND Tuesday, this CEO (…Code Enforcement Officer) felt the need to make a special visit to my front porch.  What are you doing on my front porch Mr. CEO?  We need to talk… I know you like me, but I don’t like you.  GTFO.  I’ve never even seen a ticket like this before.

“Then it hit me. Five years and a couple more days ago, I started coaching these kids what I knew about track and field, but mostly track, at Eastmont Junior High School. Now those kids are either heading off to college or hitting hammer to nail. Hannah and Jake, Cristian and Khloe, all heading off into different directions throughout the West, like dust in the the wind, just waiting to be turned to mud.”

I always thought Torin Koos wrote weird ass blog posts, this one is just fucked up.  Who says that?  Maybe he got kicked off the national team for being uncontrollably pessimistic and morbid
