Nolan Ryan did it again. The Hall of Fame inductee and winner of 324 career MLB games has won the ownership of the Texas Rangers. I’m sure Mark Cuban would have been a fine owner of my FIRST PLACE Texas Rangers… but there’s no way that I would have preferred Cuban over Nolan Ryan and [...]

We tell ourselves that skill is the precious resource and effort is the commodity. It’s the other way around. Effort can trump ability… because relentless effort is in fact something rarer than the ability to engage in some finely tuned act of motor coordination. + Malcolm Gladwell A close friend of mine forwarded me an [...]

Miss the USA vs England match last Saturday? Catch the LEGO highlights! This is greatness… ………………………… //rweaver//

When my son, Ryland, is asked who his favorite baseball player is, he unblinkingly says… “Stephen Strasburg“. Then he starts describing how Stephen throws the ball and “blows the batters down”. It’s obvious my 3-year old son is excited that I’m taking both of my boys (and my beautiful-sports-loving wife) to see the debut of [...]

John Wooden passed away tonight at 99 years of age. Many more words will be written and spoken in the next few hours, days, and years… but there won’t be any more powerful than this story of his love for his wife, Nell. LOVE… LOYALTY… BALANCE… (you might also enjoy this video tribute…) ………………………. //rweaver//

Just thought I should let you know who I voted for in the MLB All Star Game this year. MLB allows each person the eligibility to vote up to 25 times… but that’s ridiculous. I cast my ONE single vote of INTEGRITY (much like my belief in casting ONE single Bracket of Integrity) on an annual [...]

This is phenomenal. Pedaling my two-wheeler as often as I do… it’s hard to imagine anyone actually doing the things that Danny MacAskill is pulling off on his bike… Here’s the description of the video from the YouTube Info-spot… Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this [...]

May the 9th marks my first anniversary for my pedaling hobby (aka: border-line obsession to ride and get back in shape). I have loved pedaling with Amanda (there’s not much that is more fun than a casual ride around the city with my bride)… and strengthening my friendship with my training partner Ryan Jackson (who’s [...]

I received this photo of Opening Day 2009 at the Ballpark in Arlington by electronic mail from Jeremy Christopher. Beautiful shot. Not sure who took it, but they captured an amazing view perched above the Ballpark in center field. Former President George W. Bush also threw a strike with the honorary first pitch… ——————– .:rweaver:.

I am learning that some of the most pure and enjoyable moments of fatherhood are sharing my experiences with my boys. Ryland is at an age where he is ready to begin living (tasting, walking, singing, running, embracing) these experiences alongside me. Rance not so much yet (at only two weeks old… haha). But it [...]
