A Time Out from Sports
Some of you know that along with ESPN.com and the Chicago Tribune I also draw cartoons for the Guadalupe County Communicator in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Their economy, like everyone’s across America, has experienced downturn. This week the local KFC/Long John Silvers restaurants closed their doors, which in a small community like Santa Rosa is a very big story. So this is the cartoon I did for today’s issue. A big tip of the ball cap to Mr. M.E. Sprengelmeyer, publisher of the Communicator.

Tiger Returns.
Are you ready for it? Naw. me either. Be thankful you don’t have tickets to the Masters. It will be about as much fun as a root canal. If you even so much as blink in Tigers direction you’ll find yourself tossed out with the afternoon trash. This year the Masters isn’t a golf tournament, it’s a reality show.

Saints Prints
Better late than never. This is a test run. I think the price point is fairly affordable and the prints do look great. The process takes you through Paypal which should send me an e-mail after you order there.

Added Link to Prostate Cancer Foundation
I’ve added a link in the side bar for those of you who would like to make a donation to fight the battle against Prostate cancer. The link is in memory of singer songwriter Dan Fogelberg who lost his battle with cancer in 2007. I had the good fortune of interviewing Dan several times in the 80′s and have always felt a kindred spirit creatively. There’s also various information about PSA testing. Vital to guys over 45.
This link will be a permanent part of the site. I fought my own battle against testicular cancer in 2000 and felt like this was the right thing to do at the right time. So feel free to honor George Karl in his battle.

Jean Fogelberg, Dan’s wife, has started an amazing website called DontLoseHeart.org. It’s a site for care giver’s who must face their own challenges in the the midst of family illness. Having filled that role for others in my own life as well, it can be a lonely and stressful time for those who care for loved ones in need. I know, not sports, but highly recommended.

Today’s View From the Bull Pen

The odds aren't good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain't gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn't find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don't argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.

There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen (that I've found yet) so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.
