[SPORTS]  On The Court Or In Court.

For young people in cities, getting into trouble can be easy, but getting out of trouble... not so much.  Rob Moore has created Team Crossover Elite, a collection of AAU basketball teams in the city of Wilmington for both young males and females.  Not only do those teams help youngins' stay out of trouble and get out of the city limits, they also WIN!  Rob's teams have racked up recent defeats over teams from Baltimore and Virginia!  Read this interview with Rob to hear more about  how he pulls this non-profit venture off while overcoming challenges like financing the team, dealing with gossip, and showing his kids things outside of the state - all done with the love & strength of his family & supporters. Rob's story is a story with a GREAT beginning and sure to be a page-turner!  

 It actually was a country singer Brad Paisley who wrote the lyric "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man", but the same adage is true in the city and likely everywhere else. Some men fight it, but all men know it - at some point, we need to be able to look "sharp". Whether it's for work or church or for some affair, when we have to put on our "good clothes", we want to look nice them. But considering the high prices of fashion and overwhelming number of clothing choices, looking sharp can be a bit of an anomaly for many and a even a struggle for some. Read this article with Roger Turner and learn how Roger studied and learned the science of looking good for urban males so well that he opened a store aimed at contemporary urban male fashion, Roger's Menswear. Listen the the podcast with Roger and learn how he decides which designer's lines to carry, how he feels a man should put together an outfit, who should wear hats and who shouldn't, and much, much more. Roger's Menswear makes it possible to look your best and stay within your budget. In these times, we all can use a spot like that.  

I've dropped my landline.  Yup, after some thought and nail-biting, I took the plunge and dropped it.  It all started one night around 10pm when I picked up my home phone (landline) to make a call but couldn't remember the number.  Instinctively, I grabbed my cell because that's the only device where I actually still save & program phone numbers.  I was actually in the middle of the search on my cell before I realized ... "Something's not right here - why am I searching for a number on one phone so I can call it on another?"  That question nagged at me for a while, but it wasn't until my landline bill came that I actually thought "This is DEFINITELY not right. How do I fix it?" 

The answer to that question was more a trial & error venture than a cut & dry, cold turkey choice about keeping my landline.  Please enjoy this blog entry of mine where I'll note the milestones of migrating from the traditional home phone to, well, something else.
