............... "Random Thoughts From THE BEIJING BLOGGER" ...............
The name came from my original blog in 2008. I was accompanying two of my patients to the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. I blogged that journey daily. Now there are other journeys ahead. Same blogger, new journey. Follow me.

Picking a Blade of GrassI was having dinner discussion with some Rowers from the US team. We had agreed that because of the population, everything was overstaffed. People could only stand or sit around with nothing to do. There were so many jobs that were shared by 3-5 people on the same shift! One guy said that when he would go to any venue to watch a game or a match, he would give his ticket and at least three different people would look at it! Another told me that he watched this man off in a field near their rowing competition. He stared for a while and came to the conclusion that the man was plucking grass blades, separating the tall ones and leaving the shorter. The guys laughed and said,"I wanted to go up to him and say, hey buddy, you know there is now a machine that will do that for you. It's called a lawn mower!" LOL.
I'm that guy from Long Beach that likes to have a good time, help others, and tell it like it is. I am a husband, a father, a coach, a business owner, a sports medicine physiologist, and now an author. This blog was set up to be a temporary blog on my adventures on the road as I journey to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. It is now being converted to my journey everyday.
What I've Learned from Your Kids: And What YOU As Parents Need To Know
My latest labor of love. My new book! I have been working very closely with these young people for the past ten years in my sports medicine practice. Over the years I have learned so much from them. What to do. What not to do. I learn the things that they are too afraid to share with you. I have decided to put it all in a book!
