We hope 2010 is as big as the USS Akron airship.
Ten years ago today
LeBron James played his very first High School basketball game for St. Vincent – St. Mary on this day ten years ago, December 3rd, 1999, against the Cuyahoga Falls Black Tigers.
What will he have accomplished 10 years from now?
Drummer – Feel Good Together
This is what Akron, Ohio sounds like today.
PS- I really like adding videos to this website.

Baby it’s cold outside

Today’s Weather: Bleak
The following excerpt is from a December 2008 article from GQ on LeBron James. I feel it really captures the essence of how brutal or bleak Northeast Ohio weather can be.
This really is a color photo not gray scale.
You know what else makes you question things? Waking up in Cleveland, Ohio, and looking north out the window of your Marriott hotel room and realizing that there’s a barely discernible line out there in the distance, and that that line separates the gray lake from the slightly less gray air; then going down to breakfast and watching out the window as two men carrying stacks of overstuffed binders walk straight into the teeth of the wind screaming o Lake Erie, their faces being savaged by tiny airborne razor blades; then going back up to your room and looking out your window again and observing that, while the gray slab of day has lightened a little, the contrast between lake and sky is still imperceptible; and then finally realizing that the people of Cleveland live a large portion of their lives inside a howling, subfreezing, youth-repelling, job-vanishing, anti-light box.
