I’ve been prostituting…
Many of you know that I’m a saxophonist. Primarily a jazz saxophonist. Lately (the past several years) I’ve strayed away from the music that is the soul of my satisfaction. Instead of staying true to what I love, I’ve been doing plenty of society gigs, weddings, receptions, parties, etc. You know…nothing but pop covers. The [...]
I Love Cool Stuff…
Okay, so I picked up another training aid. It’s the Nike+ SportBand. This thing is cool, unobtrusive, accurate and, uh, cool. I even set-up a training program and training goals on the NikePlus website. I think the site allows me to share my stats with you all. There may even be a Nike+ widget, who [...]

I recall taking an anthropology course taught by Dr. Rosa DeJorio, an assistant [...]

After years of successfully sucking in my progressively sagging gut, it happened. One of my second grade students walked up to me, poked me in my belly with the eraser side of a pencil and said, “Man, Mr. Morris…you’re gettin’ kinda fat.”
Wow! Kids say the darnedest things…so do scales apparently. After getting on my newly [...]
It’s like committing suicide…
Okay, well, not by jumping off of a bridge or anything…but by not doing anything about how I’m living. You see, my lifestyle has contributed to many avoidable health concerns. Not the least of which is high blood pressure, gout, vitamin D deficiency, high cholesterol and I’m slightly overweight (my little digital scale actually tells [...]
