What would you do?

Bo Jackson qualified for the 60-yard dash in his freshman and sophomore years of college. He considered joining the U.S.A. Olympic team, but was informed sprinting would not gain him the financial security of Major League Baseball or the NFL, nor have the time to train. According to Bo, he would rather have done track than any other sport.

What would you have done?
I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. It’s easy to tell stories about people who leave behind the obvious money to follow a dream and then become successful. This poses the question. Are you living a dream? That is, are you currently involved in something right now that you’ve always dreamed of doing? It doesn’t have to be your full-time career. It could be taking photographs, teaching a class at a college, etc…

Please share.
My dreams?
Working in professional baseball - check. I’m working for the Salt Lake Bees doing play-by-play on the computer. If you’ve ever watched a game online where it tells you each pitch, play, etc… I’m the guy on the back end entering it all in. Like anybody in baseball, I wouldn’t mind getting called up to the majors someday.

Owning my own restaurant - I don’t own a restaurant. I don’t even know for sure what type of food I would serve, but I have ideas. I love to cook. I love good food, and I love to see people enjoying good food.

So you’re the guy entering all that in? Somehow I thought they got that data from the official scorekeeper, huh. Well when you do get the call up to the “bigs” I would be happy to take over your spot with the Bees.

Actually, my dream is to drive around the country visiting major & minor league ballparks, promoting baseball and blogging about it along the way.

We actually sit next to the official scoreer. We each \”call\” the game on our own and then we compare at the end to make sure they are identical.

My dreams…

To own a company where I could play with my favorite kind of toys… Big screens and loud speakers. Done.

To work with good friends… Done

Two dreams knocked out with one stone.
