yeeks!!!!

Sauteed crab fingers with an order of crab meat stuffed mushrooms. Eat the crab fingers first, then pour th remaining crab finger sauce over the mushrooms. FYI, make sure you have your cardiologist on speed dial.

I've coached HS football for many years.A few years back services like HUDL allowed you to retrieve a metric report from info you downloaded. Two weeks ago I was talking to an opposing AD after our game who told me he and the head basketball coach were actively having a group of students working on an AI assist for their basketball team. He said if it helps, they'll definitely suggest using AI to the football program. In reality though, the bottom line is that it will always be more about the Jimmy's and Joe's, than the X's and O's.

Not weird to us, because my mother was from Naples, but it is to most non-Italians and 3+ generation Italian-Americans I know, pasta e patate, which is pasta with potatoes. I still eat it during the winter months. My Irish wife thinks its gross.

This time of year it's Friday/Saturday-can't decide between the two. I coach HS football and there are very few things (at least to me) that bring communities together as much as Friday night HS football games. I coach, 40 miles north of San Francisco, where HS football is that slice of Americana that exists in an area that is perceived to want to do away with Americana.

Saturdays means LSU football, a day that gathers my adult children, their spouses, my grandchildren and some close friends to our house for the games. It is so great to be surounded by those you love. Gathering for LSU games at our house has been a tradition for over 35 years, that culminates every year where 50+ people arrive at our place for LSU-bama, which always aligns on the weekend we play our crosstown rivals in the "Egg Bowl". When the games are finished, and as I watch the last car leave, I thank God for such a blessing and realize what a lucky man I am.

Growing up I shared a room with my two younger brothers. One had the whistling nostril syndrome and the other constantly talked in his sleep. Even putting my pillow over my head couldn't drown out the noise they made. I think I went 10-12 years without sleep.

Does a water heater count. Ours is 31 years old and still working like a champ.

I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life. I always marvel at tourists shivering their way across the Golden Gate Bridge in tank tops, shorts and flip-flops on a mid July afternoon when the fog is pouring in, the wind is blowing at 35 miles an hour, its 52 degrees will a wind chill of about 45.

There is a cool thing about the City, it can be foggy, windy and misserably cold in the Sunset, but sunny, still and temperate in North Beach/China Town, all within a 15 miute drive of each other.

Had a HS football coach that used to say "that boy is slicker than skinned back goat dick"
