Unhappy

On Friday, Oct 15, 2004, a HS official collapsed from a an apparent heart-attack late in the third quarter of a football game. He is recovering. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated...

It is good to hear he is doing better. Wish him the best.

Not many of us have the choice to decide how we will pass away. However, one of my top choices would be on a football field during a game instead of laying in some hospital bed.

Prayers and hopes for a quick and full recovery.

When I have to go, on the football field isn't in my top 100 choices.

#1 is "in bed with Shania Twain."

We had an official who wasn't the best of officials but he tried his best. He enjoyed officiating and said he won't quit until he gets hauled off in a stretcher. 3 years ago during the first scrimmage of the year he collapses on the field. He died of a heart attack, but his wish was to die on the field and it came true for him.

A nice Canadian girl.

I do think she's among Canada's hottest women ever.

My prayers for his full recovery.
