Live for today...

You have to love summer. If you don't, honestly, I really don't care...because I do.

Have to say, it's been an interesting week. And I hope you don't mind that soccer will have to take a backseat in today's blog.

A former co-worker of mine, Jeff Ponczak, died last Saturday at the age of 39. Even as I type this, I still can't believe it. I couldn't believe it when my Dad called to tell me the story was in the paper - http://www.southtownstar.com/sports/1006541,061508jeffponczakobit.article.

I really learned a lot from Jeff early on in my career. He always had time to answer questions and help the young college kid sitting next to him.

Tomorrow is never promised, and sadly, we all tend to forget that.
