Mark, my dear friend....Lover Boy music was great! The movie Hoosiers is a favorite of mine. I ended up coaching a soccer team that did not win a game the previous season. The parents told me they weren't worth a shit when I took over. I told them that I would teach the kids soccer and they were worth a shit in my mind, regardless of their record before! We beat every team at least twice and the better teams in the tournament again and won the league trophy! It was the kids wanting to learn and play...the previous coach was too busy to spend time with them, nothing against him as some parents were forced to coach if they wanted their kid to play. I never played soccer...so I bought DVDs, VHS, and watched soccer to learn what to do. What a great bunch of kids...I still talk to many of the kids and parents today and my daughter plays club soccer and high school (she is a 9th grader) today with many of them!

Mark, I still hope that we can get you to perform something at the reunion!?! You are the man with the talent...hell, the old ladies in church give me dirty looks when I sing! Yikes!!!!!!!!

Matt you sing in church, heck I just hold up the Hymnal and lip sync like many other famous Pop stars. '

And yes Loverboy was a pretty good and still is. ACDC rocked and still rocks hell even my son likes them.

My favorite movies are the Star Wars series, Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Heck I even like the Harry Potter  movies, and no I didnt read the books, why read when I can watch it on tv.

Once again this is another topic my little brain needs to ponder before completing my list. So I will be getting back to this topic later also.

Mike,

I watched the Lord of the Rings series, Harry Potter, and a few other shows with my daughter! We had fun with all of them! What a good time!

MATTAMAX:

YOU'RE TOO KIND...I'LL PERFORM SOMETHING IF YOU 'N' PATTON BACK ME UP IN TEAL LEISURE SUITS WITH SEQUINED TIES...BUDDY 'N' TERESA WOULD ALSO HAVE TO OPEN THE SET WITH AN X-RATED VERSION OF "LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER"...........
