At what point do kids NOT want you to stay and watch the whole practice?

Took 3rd at Battleship League #4: Red, White, and BOOM! today. But looks like no bragging rights at Christmas this year.

In 2015, I had the privilege of teaching aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73) through the NCPACE program. I saw firsthand the work and sacrifice of the people who keep that ship afloat.

They were my students, my shipmates, and my friends. They are more than headlines.

I want the ordinary days with you. The late nights, the secret texting, tv show binges, road trips, and the arguments we eventually laugh about. I want to grow old knowing we kept choosing each other through all of it.

Happy 9th Anniversary, HoneyBae ShawtyBoo!

Three years ago, ANCHORED Wrestling Camp was just an idea and a gamble. Since then, wrestlers, parents, coaches, clinicians, and friends have walked through the doors and helped build this thing with us.

Thank you to everyone who took a chance on me and trusted the vision.

Day 2 of the 3rd Annual ANCHORED Wrestling Camp!

Today’s featured clinician: Aaron Lucio of Southeastern University.

Another day on the mat learning, drilling, competing, and getting better. Huge thanks to Aaron for coming to West Michigan and sharing his knowledge.

Inside me there are two wolves.

[Ryan Lancaster: An American Experience @MayorMcSweet]

It took me two years to read all 41 Discworld novels and 11 short stories. This is a perfectly reasonable way to spend two years, assuming soul crushing reality was the alternative. Terry Pratchett knew the world was absurd, cruel, and worth saving. The turtle moves.

[GVSU Wrestling Club @GVSUWrestling]

No wrestler should miss a chance to learn because of cost.

Every wrestling program in Michigan can nominate one athlete (ages 8–18, boy or girl) to attend the 3rd Annual Anchored Wrestling Camp FREE on August 8–9.

Behind the Scenes: Everyone talks about the wrestling, but nobody talks about the seafood boil. Somewhere between weigh-ins and after the finals, the entire team turns into expert crab-leg engineers and they cover the table in shrimp shells. #anchored

People keep asking me what I'm doing on August 19. As it turns out, I'll be standing in front of a room at the Michigan Maritime Museum in South Haven at 6:30 PM, talking about a ship that refused to accept the normal rules of retirement.
