My latest article is a look back on the rise of Evander Holyfield and the fall of Pinklon Thomas and where they met in the middle. https://lnkd.in/dAbgTu7Z

RIP to a true legend. One of my favorite scenes, below, is of Quincy and Herbie jamming on a Fairlight CMI: https://lnkd.in/gi5HQKhg

I don't post many personal things on this site, but this was a life dividing event for students like me who attended Texas A&M at this time. No one will ever be able to describe what it was like to look at the stack twisted into a heap with deceased students still underneath. Lessons I learned from the bonfire collapse: - Local news cares about local people, and are the best source of unbiased information in times of crisis. - National news will show up demanding answers to why it happened while dead students haven't been removed from the accident. They don't really care, they want to sell their advertising space. -The real answers to why take time to carefully study, the independent report of this tragedy was presented more than one year after (if my memory serves me right) - "That is how we always did it" is not the answer to a safety concern. Anyone can identify a problem, no matter how much they know or don't know. Group think is a well known principle for a reason. Stop, talk it out, and come up with a solution together. - No matter what differences you have with others, you can come together when the need arises. Praying for the family of those who fell on that day.

If you're in need of a good laugh (and a glimpse into the quirks of American English), check out these bits from SNL – "Washington’s Dream." ?? It's brilliantly written and really resonated with me because I’ve had some of these same questions myself while trying to understand America and its unique take on English. Here are some highlights: "We’re free men – so we’ll have a new name for number twelve: 'a dozen.' But no new names for the others." "We’ll drop the letter 'u' in words like color and armor, but keep it in glamour for some reason." "We’ll have two names for animals: one for when they’re alive, and another when they’re food – so cows become beef, pigs become bacon, but chickens stay the same." Oh, and buffalo wings will have chicken, hamburgers won’t have ham, and don’t worry – hot dogs won’t have dogs." "Football – a sport where we throw the ball with our hands. There’s a bit of kicking, of course. You kick to get points – sometimes 1, sometimes 3." Link : https://lnkd.in/gaZt-Dva

In Celebration of Martin Luther King, I share this short video clip of a little-known encounter Ansil Saunders, a fly-fishing guide in the Bahamas had with him. I hope you find it as inspirational as I do. https://lnkd.in/g8puadFS
