Current Favorite HD team you coach: Wabash, Naismith D3.
Have you ever considered buying a shirt of a school you coach in HD? I have...
I grew up in Washington, IN! Good to have a fellow rural Southern Indiana colleague here.
Was born in Terre Haute in 1971. Lived there until the mid 80's. I think if you lived there during that time period it was a state law that you HAD to be a Larry Bird fan!

P.S. Hate the Hoosiers, hate the Boilers. Go Sycamores!! Actually became a Blue Devils fan in 1985 when my family moved to NC way back when. I liked the coach with the funny last name.....who knew he'd end up being quite as successful as he has.

Current Favorite HD team you coach: I’m really enjoying the Jayhawks rebuild, but this answer changes every season

Poopshoe!!!! I always thought you were much older my man!

And define "Greenland"
Lol, I am older. My wife reminded me this morning I turned 44 a few months ago. I guess the correct answer is that I’m old enough to need to do the math in my head when asked my age.

I’ve already got a stalker problem, so “Greenland” will have to suffice. ;)
3/7/2020 11:18 AM
hey shoe, i don't mean to pry, but by greenland do you mean the actual island of greenland (or whatever it is)? not like, 'land that is green', like some anonymous thing you say to hide from the aforementioned stalker? i am just curious bc if you live in the real greenland that is super awesome. not sure why.. it just is, i suppose. i'd really like to see greenland before it gets too messed up environmentally speaking
3/7/2020 7:18 PM
p.s. it is also awesome you call it 'Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen'. i don't mean that in a smart *** way either! i like our eclectic little bunch here, for the most part

I don’t actually live in Greenland. I would also like to visit, though I’ve seen quite a bit of it via google earth.

My son made this handle when he was 16, 7 years ago. I don’t have any idea what “shoe3” means to him, nor do I know why he chose Greenland as a place of residence.
