BONUS: Claire Holt 1988 – “Nothing clears my head and puts things in perspective quite like a long, hard run.”

SOUL

Peter Dinklage 1969

“Let them see that their words can cut you and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name take it and make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore.”

*You know what people are saying about you. Address it with them – now you own it and they can’t use it to hurt you. I know that people talk about me marrying someone 21 years younger. So, I talk about it too. I make fun of it because it is funny.

MONEY

Shia LaBeouf 1986 – watch Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

“I knew nothing about finance coming into this movie, so I had to learn everything from scratch. I walked into Schwab Investment Services and asked them to walk me through everything. I wanted to learn as much as possible about the business and trading. I opened up an account with $20,000 of my own money and started trading, and the value of the account went up to $300,000 in two and a half months. How did I do it? I had a great circle of people around me who gave me good information.”

*After watching LaBeouf in the latest Wall Street movie, learn to invest like him.

ENTERTAINMENT

*Watch Hugh Laurie win a Golden Globe as Dr. House.

BONUS: Joe Montana 1956 – drink Guinness

“The greats take it as an article of faith that the best is yet to come,” he adds, as a group of people toast with Guinness.

“So, here’s to the greatest player we don’t know yet, the greatest play we haven’t seen, the greatest beer you maybe haven’t tried and the greatest year that’s still ahead of us.”

SNUB (S) – Diana Taurasi 1982 and Maya Moore 1989 – shoot some hoops with your daughter

“I think there are a couple of players who could play in the NBA right now, honestly,” Kobe Bryant said when asked whether his daughter could someday play in the NBA. “There’s a lot of players with a lot of skill that could do it. Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Elena Delle Donne. There’s a lot of great players out there, so they could certainly keep up with them.”

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
