"We just finished a really good scrimmage. I don't have the full number of plays for you. I'll get that at some point, but we want to get around 100, between the ones, twos and threes. I know we were close. We might have even gone over that a little bit. The offense ended up winning 40-42. Again, it's a unique way of scoring. Nobody really knows how it's scored, and [you] just kind of look at the scoreboard.

Sometimes coincidences happen and you’re glad they did. I wrote a while back about a Denver Police Department officer who saved the day once after I had been thrown out of the homeless shelter on 48th several years ago. I had left my cot to use the restroom, and when I came back there was a man in my bed claiming it was his bed. The shelter manager sided with him and ejected me.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
