A Good Poop Is A Blessing: The Han Solo Chronicles
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-han-solo-chronicles.html
The Han Solo Chronicles. I heard a review of the book " Nick And Jake. Apparently it is the fictional coming-together of Nick Carraway (from "The Great Gatsby") and Jake Barnes (from "The Sun Also Rises"). Several other characters from that same literary era make cameo's including Larry Darrell from "Razor's Edge". It is an interesting premise if nothing else. And plays on the Hollywood notion that "sequels sell". Leia walks into the study, "Han, the Scotch again, really? It isn't even noon! The Han Solo...

A Good Poop Is A Blessing: On Skiing and Childhood Humiliations
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2013/01/on-humiliation-and-memoir-and-skiing.html
On Skiing and Childhood Humiliations. I just finished Susan Shapiro's NYTimes essay, " Make Me Worried You're Not OK. On writing about humiliations past. She posits that the soul-bearing flop (and transcendent hard-earned lesson thus learned) makes for interesting reading. It made me think about Kaleb and my first skiing trip and our collective humiliations up on Chestnut Mountain. What can you do? Dusted myself off and got in line. When I was a younger guy, this type of humiliation. Kept me from even at...

A Good Poop Is A Blessing: Sometimes It Happened Ten Years Ago Today
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2014/09/sometimes-it-happened-ten-years-ago.html
Sometimes It Happened Ten Years Ago Today. I have written about Wilco many times in these pages. The same is true for Kevin and Brett. Wilco's songs have gotten me through some very rough waters, and I am forever grateful to my friend Michael for introducing me to them. Sometimes It Happens" off the 'Whole Love' album stuck in my craw since the first time I heard it. Sometimes it happens that you are friends. And then you are not friends,. And friendship has passed.". And then you are not loved. But as h...

A Good Poop Is A Blessing: AQ, EQ, IQ, UQ and sometimes YQ
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2012/12/aq-eq-iq-uq-and-sometimes-yq.html
AQ, EQ, IQ, UQ and sometimes YQ. Reading an article about Biggie Smalls' murder 15 years ago, I came across a term I'd never heard before- the Adversity Quotient. The two topics are more closely linked than you might think. And in light of my personal discovery of the "AQ", I propose the "UQ", and the "YQ". CNNcom had a story about the release of Notorious B.I.G.'s autopsy. 15 years after his murder. He was shot four times, once fatally. In fact, measurement of AQ is a better index in achieving success t...

A Good Poop Is A Blessing: Chicago Olympic Distance Triathlon Race Recap
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2013/09/chicago-olympic-distance-triathlon-race.html
Chicago Olympic Distance Triathlon Race Recap. After having such a great time preparing and racing the Quad Cities Sprint Triathlon in June, I decided to find another race that would work with our busy summer schedule. The Lifetime Fitness Chicago Triathlon (#ChiTri) worked because I already had my fantasy football draft scheduled for the same weekend in the city. Then I took race week easy, allowing my body to recover from the 21 miler. I only ran about 10 miles and biked another 25- with zero swimm...

A Good Poop Is A Blessing: Bears Down A Strange Path in 2013
http://dailybread95.blogspot.com/2013/10/bears-down-strange-path-in-2013.html
Bears Down A Strange Path in 2013. Sitting in Jury's having a burger with buddy Michael last January, we watched Lovie Smith get fired from the Bears following a 2012 season where he went 10-6 but missed the playoffs. We discussed how the Offensive guru the Bears would likely bring in, combined with Brian Urlacher's retirement and a declining Defense could ultimately confuse the psyche of everyday Chicagoans. And Da Superfans are back. But where does it all go after the bye week? On one hand, you still j...
