Costco Twins & 2025

The Long Road ·

2025/01/03

I dropped by Costco right before New Year's for a few supplies. While waiting to check out, I noticed twin boys about a year and a half old in the cart in front of me. They had NO devices and were noticing things around them...it's worth a show to discuss the positive benefits of your kids looking around at things besides a ridiculous electronic device.*Photo by Ron Jones

Veterans Day & Fitness

The Long Road ·

I need to set the record straight on Veterans Day. There would be NO Veterans Day without physical fitness because there would be no military to serve! Most people do not get this important connection between physical "readiness" and military service.

"You don't want to work, you want to live like a kingBut the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing"-The EaglesSpinning off a great song by The Eagles, GET OVER IT! We have work to do to save what is left of our country. Conservatives had to "get over it" when Obama was elected and also Biden...so now it's the Democrats' turn. Get over it. Put your boots on.

Obedience to Group

The Long Road ·

2024/10/29

This is my third recent episode using a 1943 US Government reference, "National Socialism" which was the playbook for Nazi Germany. In today's episode, I go over the Nazi Pledge of Allegiance and the Nazi's "Duties of the Party Comrade." I highlight the dangers of being exclusively "group think" while also highlighting the shortcomings of being too focused on YOU the individual while ignoring any responsibilities to the larger group as in your country. What we need is both--rugged individuals who

Awards

The Long Road ·

2024/10/27

I gave a pep talk to my PE kids this week on winning awards. I shared that when I was their age, I was quite "average" and don't remember winning anything of special significance. I was just part of the pack whether in the classroom or on the athletic field...then I decided I did not want to be average anymore, and everything changed. Here's a small part of my story and how the US Marine Corps' Devil Pups program helped me change my mindset--and life path. I went on to set a world record in

Propaganda & Property Rights

The Long Road ·

2024/10/18

Reaching back into my rare WWII archives, today's episode cites "National Socialism" published in 1943. This US Government source exposes actual Nazi propaganda methodology and how the personal property rights of individuals were removed for the "good" of the state under the cloaks of "protection" of the people to "remove distress."

In a follow-up to my previous episode on the importance of teaching children to speak well, this episode goes deeply into the history of not only physical culture in schools--but also "vocal culture" in the American K-12 school system. Join me while we take a critical look at the current trends to "amplify" dysfunctional speech during school assemblies and drama productions then reference this to what was taught in 1800s "vocal education."Reference: "Manual of Physical and Vocal Training, for the

Enunciation Matters!

The Long Road ·

2024/10/13

The Cambridge Dictionary defines enunciation as: "the act of pronouncing words or parts of words clearly." We have a speech crisis in America. A high percentage of current elementary children have a speech impediment. Cambridge defines impediment as: "something that makes progress, movement, or achieving something difficult or impossible."Far too many children cannot speak well enough to be understood...and it's at a crisis level NOW! Part of the root cause is spending too much time on technology
