Notes to self

In the future, when volunteering to coach at a youth football clinic, make sure the organizers have enough sense to cut back the planned hours of instruction when the heat index travels to over a hundred.
We don't have high school athletes, those kids who we assume actually know the game, and are in some semblance of physical shape, stay out in the blazing sun for over three hours during two-a-days; there is no reason to have 6-12 yr olds out in the sun from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Next time we're at an event where an Aggie great like two-time Super Bowl winner Detron Smith is present to speak, bring a camera.

Detron spoke to several different groups, delivering a great message about the value of teamwork, goal setting, and believing in yourself.
I was able to talk to him briefly, but a picture for my brother would have been nice. Detron was one-half of my brother's all-time favorite fullback duo, Detron Smith and Cliff Groce.


Looks a lot meaner than he is.
