Story Time…..1

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible…….. Enjoy

One day I had lunch with some friends. Jim, a short, balding golfer type about 80 years old, came along with them—all in all, a pleasant bunch.

When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Jim who said, “Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate.

I wasn’t sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. “Along with heated apple pie,” Jim added, completely unabashed.

We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time… But when our orders were brought out, I didn’t enjoy mine.

I couldn’t take my eyes off Jim as his pie a-la-mode went down. The other guys couldn’t believe it. They ate their lunches silently and grinned.

The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Jim. I lunched on white meat tuna. He ordered a parfait.
I smiled. He asked if he amused me I answered, “Yes, you do, but also you confuse me.

How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible? He laughed and said “I’m tasting all that is possible.
I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. But life’s so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good.

This year I realized how old I was. (He grinned) I haven’t been this old before.”
“So, before I die, I’ve got to try those things that for years I had ignored. I haven’t smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many trout streams I haven’t fished. There’s more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead.

There are too many golf courses I haven’t played. I’ve not laughed at all the jokes. I’ve missed a lot of sporting events and potato chips and cokes.

I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace.

I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most.

I haven’t cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind on my face. I want to be in love again.

So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall, I’d say I died a winner, because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart’s desire. I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired.”

With that, I called the waitress over… “I’ve changed my mind,” I said. “I want what he is having, only add some more whipped cream!”

Be mindful that happiness isn’t based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people we like and respect. Remember that while money talks, CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SINGS!

Allen Iverson, NBA icon, struggles with life after basketball

By Kent Babb

Sad sad sad to a human being not able to live life outside of basketball!

Father Time is Calling….

Father Time?

17 years, 1,239 games and 45,390 minutes played, all on two legs. Within those years there was 1 NBA MVP award, 5 NBA championships, 2 NBA finals MVP, 2 gold Olympic gold medals, 15 all-star appearances, 4 all-star MVP, 2 NBA scoring titles, 10 all NBA first team, 9 NBA all defensive first team and a slam dunk contest champion! Pretty successful I’d say! Oh and might I add this was done while playing for one team. But all good things seem to come to an end, and with his latest injury of a torn Achilles, maybe Father Time is saying play no more. The “black mamba” has accomplished everything a NBA player could ever dream of. At soon to be age 35 (8/3/2013) what more does he have to prove. Players don’t come back from this kind of injury and continue to play at a high level. With one more year left on his current contract, he has said next year would be his last. One last ride. We all know this player isn’t like the ordinary player. That’s just not who he is. Playing for a championship is all he cares about. And coming back at 75-90% at best, won’t win a championship for his team. When you’ve scored 31,617 points in your career, which is 4th all-time AND 645 away from your idol, (MJ) coming back anything less than 100% just won’t cut it. And we all know the older you get the longer it takes for you to heal. #24 who previously wore #8, changed his number due to the dislike of his current head coach when at Phoenix (mike D’antoni wore #8 as an Italian player who Kobe idolize while growing up and living in Italy) needs to think about retiring! But when your owed $30 million dollars to play next season…… I see why Kobe Bryant wouldn’t retire!

Red or Blue??

This debate about Jordan vs Lebron needs to stop and I’ll tell you why! Although you can’t compare NBA era’s, that’s just not fair. But you can compare NBA ages. Players stayed in college longer back in the day, therefore making them more “seasoned” by the time they reach the NBA. So with that comes this…..” Jordan played against men. Lebron is playing against YOUNG adults” enough said…. Debate over…..unless you want to talk about Jordan/Lebron vs Oscar Robertson.
