RISING TO THE TOP

Babies aren't always bringing up the rear.  Sometimes they are in the lead!  Wowing "top brass in two recent interviews," Sean McVay at just 30 years of age was hired as head coach by the Los Angeles Rams, "making him the youngest head coach in N.F.L. history."      story

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS PAVED WITH SIGNED SHOES

Like, I know there is an important basketball game tonight.  LeBron and Curry will both be there.  And all that.  But let's talk about Nike dropping the ball (lol - pun - metaphor) and not keeping megastar Steph Curry in their line-up.  "Nike hit him with a pitch meeting ... hastily thrown together ... " with Curry's name spelled wrong and Kevin Durant's name still on presentation slides.   The consensus is Nike blew it and Under Armor won with Curry signed through 2024.    Anywhooo . . .      story     

Principle in the type:  "Still, accomplishment is unreliable.  'Succeeding,' whatever that might mean to you, is hard, and the need to do so constantly renews itself (success is like a mountain that keeps growing ahead of you as you hike it), and there's the very real danger that 'succeeding' will take you your whole life, while the big questions go untended."    George Saunders

This is nice, right?   Have you seen it?   A big part of life seems to be not giving up.   Myself, I'm really feeling the burn this week.

MIND OVER MATTER

Every year I'm tempted to buy a Goats in Trees calendar.   I mean but really, right?!   It's da'best.    And so, their little goat minds tell them to go climb a tree.  Our little human minds have done worse!  ( ... and better.)
