For 12 consecutive seasons, we’ve cheered Olathe South’s Cross Country team as each of our 3 kids have competed. All of us have been caught in the slipstream of the effort.

How many times have you heard someone ask rhetorically, “Who’s to know what the truth is? Who’s to say?” At best it’s a convenient escape hatch. At worst, a manipulative tool. When you hear “Who's to know, who's to say?" answer "I am!" Not from pride but from love of what is real.

“Find what you love and let it kill you” is a message that resonates with many… but is it a myth? And to those who embrace it as a mantra, does its roots even matter?

It's now public knowledge (ESPN) that at least 2 #PFHOF voters openly broke HOF rules in an effort to block Jim Tyrer's induction into the Hall... based on those voters insistence on being arbiters of morality. Let that sink in as you watch this.

We await the vote outcome.

Bad things happen that aren’t the product of bad people. Chris Nowinski, CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation says the Jim and Martha Tyrer case is one such example. Still there are those who insist on overlooking the facts of the case…

A 2024 resolution was to put a new creation a week on a tab of my page. The spirit of the idea was right. Only uploaded a half dozen however. Refine for 2025? 🤔
