So long…
And thanks for all the fish…
It only seems natural to use that quotation to define what this post was going to be about. I’ve known this day was coming, at first I tried to deny it, but in the end it became about acceptance and moving on to new adventures with life.
The Kansas City Shock is no more. Continue reading
I headed out to the country to visit MC and Jim this afternoon. I took the back roads to reach their location; passing through this small town with a unique history.
Currently:
Sitting the corner of a bar in Kansas City.
Why:
Watching from a distance as Darco networks with other women lead business owners for the night.
Result:
I’ve never been so impressed, and so proud.
Sometimes you just need to unplug from the digital world.
For some of us that means more often than not. It’s crazy how fast, unpredictable, and dramatic the zeros and ones can be in the alternate world that we’ve managed to create.
In the recent week, aside from one random fit, I haven’t been much of anything over at FilingThePapers. Some of that has to do with the state of the Kansas City Shock, and ensuring that projects are being accomplished for this summer, and another aspect has to do with seeking out wisdom from people around me.

Between Darco being sick this week, and her opening the store several times this week she’s been a hard one to locate.
Add that to the excessively late night work periods and meetings that I’ve had this week, and incredibly we’ve actually rarely have seen one another since last weekend. I know that both of us are trying very hard at life, balancing work, family, and rest [struggling with each], and it’s easy to see how American’s get so caught up in the busyness to loose sight on the life that really matters.

Realistically I could take this moment to blame the soccer world.
Frankly, I could also blame the social media network that I routinely get lost in.
Who am I kidding?
It’s my fault. Continue reading
Absolute whirlwind of a day!
Woke up at 3:00 AM
Drove to Kansas City
Drove to Dallas, Texas
Went from 24 degrees to 73 degrees [it’s so nice here]
Ate Whataburger [twice]
Epic women’s soccer match
Credit: I stole this from the Kansas City Shock
…and that was all in a days work.
I’m wiped out for the night.

To Dallas we go!
Again!
USA plays at 8:00 tonight in Frisco, Texas. My wife is out sick, so it’s going to be myself and one of the Shock media guys.
Already on the road, Dunkin in hand. Let’s do this!

Very long, productive start to the week.
Today’s result?
Simply put, let the Kansas City Shock sponsorship race begin!
God is insanely good for reasons I’ll never understand.
