First post--pressure's on. But I'm sure no one's watching...not yet anyway.
I plan on using this blog as a daily...okay, MAYBE daily journal/rant/vent. And perhaps there will be a few nuggets of wisdom that I've accidentally come across in my 40-plus years. God knows I've TRIED to find 'em here and there. Here's a thought...
Wayman Tisdale died last Friday. What a shame. Not only for his family, but for all of us who ever watched him perform his sweet turnaround jumper here at OU, or watched him play ball on an NBA court, or ever enjoyed his INCREDIBLE musical skills. Billy Joel said it---only the good die young, man.
I remember when my high school basketball team ( the school's-- I didn't play) took on Wayman and his team in the state playoffs. I was like--"Who is this dude?" He was unstoppable even then.
I had the chance to interview him once or twice, and truly, he was a guy that you meet, and immediately like. So positive. He really enjoyed life.
We should all take a lesson from Wayman...LIVE, LOVE, AND LAUGH.
