The US Women’s National Soccer team is in Chattanooga for a friendly match against Costa Rica. Without doubt they are the best national team in the world. Having them in our city is awesome. It is one more way to grow the game of Soccer/Football in big and small places.

I am over the heat and humidity. So ready for Fall. This morning it was already hot and sticky. Yes I know its worse in other places but here its just time for a cool down.
I just bought tickets for Saturday’s football/soccer national championship game on Saturday. This is going to be fun, competitive, rowdy and festive. They expect 10,000 plus for the game and this is fourth division competition. Chattanooga FC has captrued the imagination of our city and its exciting to see the rally of this scrappy team. It’s going to be a great match.

This Saturday it is going to be a football/soccer turf war between my hometown Chattanooga FC and The New York Cosmos B for the National Professional Soccer League national championship. I cannot wait!
Giving life: The need for blood donations never lets up — http://t.co/rULjvSmatS pic.twitter.com/4EvQdIsQ1M

I work for Blood Assurance a regional blood center that serves Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia and Alabama. We provided blood for patients injured during the shootings of July 16, 2015 here in Chattanooga. Emergencies are not the only time when blood is needed and the need for blood is constant. Every donation helps 3 lives and that is awesome.
Some folks can give while others can’t. We all have a part to play in making our world better. Giving your time and talents is a noble thing that benefits our greater global community. For me, donating blood is something I enjoy doing.
We went to see a Chattanooga Theatre Centre presentation of Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and it occurred to me that the queen of East Tennessee music is quite the feminist. This play and movie is about empowering women to be who they want to be on their terms. I think in the 21st century women should have the freedom to answer life’s call on their lives in whatever form it takes whether it be mother or minister, president of our country or CEO of a corporation. Women are a powerful force for good and they get stuff done. So their work from 8 to 6 or 9 to 5 is more valuable now than ever. As a man I support their wanting their own dreams to come true.
