Tweet of the Week: Thanksgiving for Junior?
John Grant, Jr., is one of the best Canadian lacrosse players of all time, not to mention one of the best lacrosse players of all time period. But did you know he recently gained American citizenship? What does this mean for his Thanksgiving plans? Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, which means it already happened. Does that mean he gets double the turkey and pumpkin pie?
If We Have, We Can Give
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and happy Thanksgiving! An idea that has stuck with me for quite some time now, is to give when you can least afford to. I had the opportunity last night to follow through on this principle. And while, admittedly, my first instinct was to say “Not tonight, I cannot afford to […]
Better Than We Found It
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! In keeping with the spirit of finding things that we are grateful for, showinggratitude (rather than just speaking it), and living a life of gratitude, allow me to propose to you that cleaning up after others is a very simple way of showing appreciation and gratitude. I was constantly told growing to, “always […]

Pita Shooting In The Maverik Office
I went over to Maverik’s office in NYC and met up with Kyle Sweeney to drop off a newly strung Pita pocket. Kyle decided to test it out a bit in the bullpen, and he was nailing pipes and corners from the get go. He’s a pro. No shocker there.
Music Monday: Off the Main-stream
Good Monday to all the Lax All Stars across the globe! With Tom and Peyton grappling for NFL legend status and Kanye and Miley battling for the controversy spotlight, I thought it would be appropriate to stay off the beaten path for another Music Monday.
Music Monday: Cover This

Jules played at UC Davis along with Josh. I really enjoyed the cover wanted to share it along with a few other covers. Take a listen!
Say Thank You
GREAT Monday morning, ladies and gentlemen! “With Gratitude, you become thankful for all things at all times. You begin to notice the 98 percent of your life that is going great instead of the 1 or 2 percent of your life that is difficult. When you practice gratitude, your efforts are rewarded with a more […]
