Naked Man Moleskin

• Anybody know Terry Crew? Anybody watch the pre-game before the NCAA tournament?  Well if not, Terry Crew is a successful actor who gave the pre-game speech to both UCONN & Purdue prior to the NCAA Championship game.
• Standing before players from the Boilermakers and Huskies in a segment likely recorded in the days before the national championship game, Crews held an hourglass and explained its metaphorical meaning, explaining that players have to stay grounded in the present, which, in this case, is the small neck through which sand passes from the top part of the hourglass to the bottom part. He talked about to many of us living in the top part of the hour glass which is the past & also those of us that live in the bottom which is the future.
• The former NFL player then recounted a story from his high school basketball career, when he missed what would have been a game-winning shot late in a district championship game because he was distracted thinking about all the people he wanted to prove wrong, the past or the top part of the hour glass & the glory that awaited him had the ball gone through the hoop, the future, the bottom of the glass. “Every successful thing I’ve done since that moment was because I was present,” Crews said. “Your perfect game is here. Right now.”
• My wife & I were recently reflecting after we came back from spring break & the fact we only have 6 left before our daughter goes off to College & that is assuming she still wants to do family spring breaks through High School.
• Time is precious, time is short, & time is not guaranteed. I challenge you to stop living in the fat & infinite part of the hour glass, the top & bottom & start living in that tiny neck where you can be present & have impact which is the NOW!
