REAL AMERICAN HERO...

While the rest of the world's been busy dodging contrived boogie men, chasing after 'likes' and 'hits' and finding identities in political affiliations and correctness, Bob Downey has stayed home, rolled his sleeves up and made it a better place.
We needed a shot of the new Humane Society digs for our upcoming 2015 issue of 'Lincoln Today' magazine and this is what I came up with...Bob and Chewy cooperating perfectly.
While working at the Humane Society most of his life, Bob's been a hero to many but usually an unsung one. As president and CEO of the Humane Society for the last 30 years, he's been instrumental in all the updates and improvements along the way. I've known Bob for a long time as a kind man of genuine love especially for the Animal Kingdom, and here he still is developing more efficient ways of treating and finding homes for the helpless and homeless... 
Way to go, Bob!
Thanks, we're proud of you...

Homeless in this world,
Tom :^)

SOCK IT TO ME...



Yesterday was proclaimed 'Jack Sock Day' in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Woods Tennis Center where Jack learned to play the game as a kid. Everyone around here is proud of homeboy Jack and his budding professional tennis career. This summer he won the men's doubles event at Wimbledon with partner Vasek Pospisil, and is steadily climbing the ratings in both singles and doubles.
Keep an eye on Jack. He's one of the good guys...




You go, Jack   
We've got your back   :^)

A LONG WAY TO GO...

TO THE ROSE BOWL...

The Huskers looked good last night beating Miami in Lincoln...
It was great to see the benches clear backing up a comrade under attack. Way to go, guys!
Nearly 92,000 in attendance and an ongoing sellout record of 337 and counting! 
There really is no place like Nebraska where we take care of our own...
Who's got your back?

EVERYBODY NEEDS IT...

a little place to go...
This is one of my favorite spots, a tabernacle of sorts, where the water meets the shore...
Whenever I'm walking or running or biking by, I usually stop and check in or at least give a salute to honor this particular inspirational point of mine.
It's even become my launching pad when I walk on water (in the wintertime)
People ask if the connection's true...
I say, Yes Indeedy  :^)
Anytime is the right time if you know the Way...
