Good Training

A while back, I was selected to play Jason Voorhees in a future fan film with Derrick Berry & Mike Gee. Wearing a strapped (wolf) mask here from the music video, “Before the Roof Caves in” by artist Brian Walker was pretty good training for it.

“Very cool, thank you, BUT, I’m not a bodybuilder. I NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF ONE…EVER. I have friends who are, and I respect them very much. I did 3 contests back in 1998 for the now non-existent NABF when I was 23 years old. I was measured at 5’10” 188lbs. In the two October shows, I placed 3rd & 4th in the open light-heavyweight class and 1st place in both Junior classes (23 & under). I placed 2nd overall as a Junior at the Nationals in November. That was it. That was a special time in my life, as I met so many great people as a result. I was never a big guy by ANY means. My heart always was. I did my best to keep in shape simply for me and to keep myself out of trouble while enhancing my overall health & wellbeing. God Bless.”*

Happy Father’s Day (2024)

Happy Father’s Day! It has been over 40 years since I first climbed these stairs as a skinny little, undersized Irish kid who was scared of his own shadow. Lots of special memories here, along with some great classmates from back in that era. John Michael Hughes, gone far too soon! Never forgotten. I think as we all get older, time seems to unfortunately start moving faster. Personally, I appreciate memories and places like this more now. It’s nice to take a few minutes out of this busy
thing called life and return to a simple place from your past. When times were good,
and the biggest stress was hoping to be picked for the kickball team that you wanted.
God Bless ALL the good dads out there (and parents) on this sunny Sunday morning. You are appreciated.
