Tell her about it Tell her everything you feel Give her every reason To accept that you’re for real -Billy Joel from his hit song “Tell Her About It” Before reading this post, click HERE to watch the music video. It’ll put you in a good mood. Beware, you might get up and start dancing. (And be sureContinue reading “Tell Them About It”

Yes, it’s another basketball post. Sorry, I can’t help myself. Besides basketball being my first love, I’m watching “The Last Dance” right now. It’s incredible–definitely watch–and it’s bringing up all sorts of thoughts for me. Here’s one… Michael Jordan famously had a “Love Of The Game” clause in his contract with the Chicago Bulls. ItContinue reading “For Love Of The Art”

Which is, the realization that everyone has their own narrative going on in their head. AndContinue reading “Sonder”

1986. Miami Beach, Florida. North Shore Park. Outdoor basketball courts. Night. Under the sodium lights. I’m thirteen. I’m short. And a little bit chubby. (The polite term back then was “husky.”) But I can shoot…when I’m wide open. As usual, I’m practicing by myself on a separate basket.

You’re not doing the difficult, often thankless, producing work because “it’s good to get up there.” You’re not doing it because you want to “showcase your talents.” You’re not doing it because you want people to come up to you at the end ofContinue reading “Vanity Project”
