Back among the living

For the first time in more than a month, I feel like myself again.

It might only have been a press conference given by Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski to talk about his upcoming work with the U.S. Olympic team, but for somebody who has been sitting around idle as much as I have been lately, it felt like I'd been hooked up to a defibrillator and shocked back to life.

I was asked to cover Coach K's press conference for the Wilmington Star News. Here's the like to my column: http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20080703/ARTICLE/807020355.

It might be the first of many stories and columns I write for the Star-News. Then again, it might also be the only one. But either way, it was good to be back at work again. It's something I'll never take for granted again.

I hope you had as great a Fourth of July holiday as I did. God Bless America and God bless you all!

congrats on the column Brett- the newspaper game just ain't the same without you!

about Splinter (aka K-Rat)
“Obviously, am I out on the road recruiting as much? Does that hurt our recruiting? There’s no way that that hurts our recruiting. What hurts our recruiting is if I can’t make decisions on kids and start relationships with them early. This has all been good.”

Maybe a recruit sees JJ Redork on the olympic pool roster and says to himself "if he can get selected so can I (only if I go to dook)"

Way to call it like you see it Brett. Sometimes I might not agree with your point of view, but I respect that you don't sugarcoat it and I know where you stand. Always enjoy reading what ya got to say..again, congrats!

Thanks for posting Bobcat. Make sure you let the folks over at the Observer know what you think. Nothing speaks louder than public opinion.

miss you at the games bro. People dont have a clue how much you helped the semi-pro sports scene in Fayetteville by keeping them in the paper.
