Playing For Pizza: John Grisham

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a "starting "quarterback. Great, says Rick— for which team? The mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Yes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player— any former NFL player— at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers— at least until a better offer comes along— and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma— not even where it is— has never been to Europe, and doesn’ t speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy— the land of opera, fine wines, extremely small cars, romance, and Football Americano — holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

Did You Know? Valentine Day Special

There are many opinons as to who was the original Valentine, with the most popular theory that it was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In any event, in 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine. Through the centuries, the Christian holiday became a time to exchange love messages and St. Valentine became a patron saint of lovers. In the 1840s, Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for sending the first Valentine cards. The spirit of love continues as valentines are sent with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school.

I know you are like myself… have great difficulty in getting up in the morning. The following alarm clock solves my trouble…
On average I more than 5 minutes to find the correct button to press to stop the alarm. Damn, I have no mood to get into bed after the mission!
You get one yourself, and see if you can beat me with the 5 minutes record!
Wait, I know what you are thinking. No, this alarm is very tough, it won’t stop even if you threw it on the floor… unless of course if you threw it out of the window!
