Well that's a coping mechanism I can try. Denial is a good tool. I've often used it while dating.

I'll bet you've had denial used on you while dating, too...

No, you CAN'T do that...

Yes you have to pay but it's only $12 and yes you get to go through the locker room but you'll have to go to Oakland or New York to see DMac's locker.

You'll need to get there early on the Saturday as they'll shut the Stadium down for tours 24hours before kickoff. Its for security checks of the Stadium. I've had various experiences of the Stadium tour. Sometimes you get to visit the locker room, then again sometimes its been missed out. I still get a kick walking out onto the turf. So cool.

Oh yeah getting out on the field was awesome even though the day I went they had a bunch of hot air balloons on it.

I don't like flying for a number of reasons. The main one is the first and only time I have flown, it resulted in excruciating pain when we were landing. It literally felt like my head was going to explode. I was in so much pain I started sweating. I guess my ears just can't take the pressure change. I was told the trick is to hold your nose and blow, but I don't really like the idea of doing that either. I prefer the ground.
"I just kind of stopped in the middle of a route, which is the worst thing you can do," Ogletree said. "He just told me, 'What were you thinking?' I kind of mumbled something to him and he was like, 'You're stupid.' "

Did he tell the story about how he and his "Paw-Paw" were cane-poling down by the old "crick", and Paw-Paw caught a crawdad in his brand new, store-bought sailor hat?

I hate flying and I hate heights.

Go figure, when I went through college I worked as a roofer during the summer and it didn't bother me a bit.

Gettin' old............

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

I was on a plane from Tokyo to Hong Kong last year, and Japan Airlines had the coolest thing. They had cameras mounted on the bottom of the plane, and you could see the downward view from your seat monitor if you chose.

I'm pretty sure if you saw that Juke, you'd never fly again.
