Another Reason to Play the Game


As I thought about beginning this blog, another reason to play the game, I thought about all of the actions in life that can be called “playing the game.”  For example,
  • playing the game on the job everyday;
  • playing the game of job-hunting at 50+ years old;
  • playing the game of “older brother;”
  • playing the game of “little sister;”
  • playing the game of of growing a relationship with new people that come into your life;
  • playing the game of life, in general.   

Being a huge basketball fan, I will make playing the various sports games a discussion on this blog, but this is not a sports blog exclusively.  Any topic is fair game.  My goal is that each blog post reflect "another reason to do x, y, z"  whatever that is, in the context of the "game" metaphor. 
My professional basketball teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Fever.  Since, the Lakers are not in the running this year for a championship, I will have to pick another team to win it all in 2013. 

Stay tuned!

The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.

  1. The Chicago Bulls advancing to the second round of the NBA playoffs speaks volumes. The team's efforts announces "We played. We won. We conquered the Nets." Pre-Jordan and Jordan era fans have to be delighted that this team is winning playoff games. When you don't play the game, you pretty much have no chance at winning the game. When you play, you give yourself a shot. Enter exhibit A, the 2013 Chicago Bulls.
