THE SUMMER OF “TOMS”, PICKLEBALL, MICKELSON, BULL DURHAM & THE FONZ
They have the same name, the same fame, and get somewhat the same blame. The Toms….. Tom Brady….Tom Cruise (we’ll get to that other Tom in a bit) How often do you hear, I can’t stand Tom Brady? or I can’t stand Tom Cruise? I hear it often. For quarterback Tom, it’s mostly jealously. People think […]
HEY GRADS–JUST ASK! GOODBYE OZARK & GEORGE CARLIN DOC & SABAN VS JIMBO & REESE’S PIECES
A big congrats to the class of 2022, you have so much to look forward to! It’s important you believe that because it’s true. It’s a new world you live in but don’t let the cynics tell you all the obstacles which will hold you back, pursue those dreams no matter what it takes, in […]
“APP”ATHY, DAVE GROHL’S BOOK, TONY HAWK’S DOC, BEST SNACK EVER, EMPTY SUIT & MEL KIPER

TITUSVILLE PRIDE, ALWAYS SHAKE HANDS!, NEVERLANDERS, HUEY LEWIS & THE GREATEST ANNOUNCER
We all come from somewhere right? Some of us embrace our hometowns more than others, but for my money, the best place to grow up was Titusville, Florida. I’m extremely biased. I’ve always been proud of my hometown and it’s not because we have our own beach (Playalinda) or that we’re close to everything—a stone’s […]
MY PANDEMIC PIVOT, STORE BOUGHT RAMS/BUCS, GREAT PODCAST, SUCCESSION & BILLIONS
Here we go again…… But this is a biggie folks—the Naborhood Blog officially turns ten years old this year! In some ways (thanks pandemic) it seems much longer than that, but I digress. I greatly appreciate those who have read this from the beginning where the interesting part of writing this once a month is […]
