Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Excessive Celebration

The NFL has cracked down on celebrations in the end zone after touchdowns. If you ask me, we don't celebrate enough. (At least in the non-football world.) We are very good at beating ourselves up when things go wrong. We need to make sure we are spiking the ball (or popping the cork) when things go great.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Something That Scares You

On Saturday, a friend of mine called and asked if I would like to go skydiving with him this summer. I have never jumped out a perfectly good airplane before (or any airplane for that matter). I have always thought it would be fun to do a tandem jump; strapping on to somebody that knows what the heck they're doing, but of course that's not what he had in mind.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Victim vs. Victor

Victims want more luck. Victors want more hours in a day.

Victims show up late because the roads were bad. Victors leave early to give themselves plenty of time to get there.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Signs Of The Times

Seems like more and more people are on street corners in town with cardboard signs asking for help and money. My first thought is that business must be good. My next (and likely correct) thought is that more people must need help and money. I know there are lots of reasons that a person ends up on a corner holding cardboard, and those reasons don't really matter to me.

Pete Hanson’s Daily Blog: Shortcut? What Shortcut?

Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers. (As a Vikings fan, saying those words does not come easy.) The NFL season is long, difficult, and trying. Training camp starts in July, but make no mistake, there aren't any weeks off for a player (not one that wants to be great). Ending the run as Super Bowl Champions really says something about the team and the individuals.
