I’m not sure if a haircut is my near future with COVID-19 so for fun I looked at some old pictures when my hair was long, wavy and sometimes over my ears as this might be what the future holds for me. Will I be able to hear with my ears covered? Will I look younger or a bit bizarre? Why is there a picture of ex Buccaneer quarterback, Steve DeBerg, in the blog photo?
Here I share an answer to the final question and what stuck out to me that I’ve listened to or watched in the first quarter of the year ranging from health, performance, entertainment, and sports. I share a link to the content if you are interested and a brief note about each.

Sports
- Bruce Arians explains how the Bucs got Tom Brady – I haven’t been this excited about an upcoming Bucs season in a long time. From the blog photo above – that was me sitting in old Tampa Stadium in 1986 when Steve DeBerg was the Quarterback. I took that sideline photo of DeBerg, one of my favorite Bucs. He had the swag even on some really bad teams. He was not the problem…
Maybe one of these will be of interest to you. They provided great value to me in either education or entertainment. I’m trying to manage the balance of educating myself along with alleviating stress through various inputs.
