My Words Will Never Age
And i Will Live Forever
Just some thoughts on aging. I see so many people under the impression that life ends after a decade hits. It doesnβt. You only get old if you let your mind get old, if you stop playing, if you stop looking for things to do.
Prior to April, I had never published a poem
Prior to December, I had never published a book.
This is a butterfly cinquain about my thoughts. Below is my piece On Poetry.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
