December 8, 2009 by katemckeon · 1 Comment
Brett Favre is looking royal in purple. Hard to believe he recently crossed into 40. Though they lost to the Cardinals . . .
“I’m anxious to go watch it on the news because I’m pretty sure everybody is going to talk about what Brett Favre did wrong, and not talk about how our defense stood [...]

If you knew that the color you were wearing could influence the outcome of a game/deal/date, would you change what you are wearing?
What’s Color got to do with it?
Are TEAL uniforms (San Jose Sharks) killing any chance for a cup?

So you’re a lefty and life is tough?
Stop your whining.
Look at the numbers . . . you’re in pretty good company . . . if you can survive adolescence.
This week we compare the salaries of left-handed pitchers with the average salary of all pitchers over the past 20 years.

Excellence versus Mastery
October 25, 2009 by katemckeon · 15 Comments
Mastery is a path, not a destination so I thought I would clarify a few things that have come up in comments . . .

Fair warning, this video [...]

These swings have been the focus [...]

October 1, 2009 by katemckeon · 15 Comments
Rewriting the No Child Left Behind Law is in process. If you have children in school this may be important to you. If you are childless, it may seem unimportant.
That couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Whether or not you have children, if you plan to be living in 20 years, how our children are educated [...]
