TommyLog – Surprising #TeamClara @ Nationals

Hey Kids, last weekend was a once in a lifetime opportunity to sneak off to Orlando for a day to surprise Clara at her Little Chute High School Dance team as they perform at nationals. This video is a compilation of all my little snippets from the trip. WOW what a trip it was.

This is what I posed to facebook before I left. “Today I’m embarking on a surprise trip to see my daughter Clara and the whole little chute dance team perform at Nationals at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. I think that every dad wants to have “that moment” and be “that dad”. While it can’t be forced, I hope this will be an amazing weekend. I love and Support clara so much. To help make this a success, I have blocked clara on all social media channels so she doesn’t see what going on. i am an huge ball of emotional worms right now. I’ll keep you all posted as to the process. STAY TUNED!! ‪#‎teamclara‬ ”

TommyLog – When You Have Fun, You’ll Succeed

Took my son Tommy to see Million Dollar Arm this weekend and like most movies, there a life lesson to be gleaned,

When you are all business and take things too seriously, can you really make things happen? Certainly, but are you having fun… NO!

The moral of the story here is that when the ball players had fun, they got signed and then they were too serious, the pressure got to them and they failed.
