In thinking about doing some semi-consistent blogging again, I can’t help but think of the best scene from one of my all-time favorite movies, Hoosiers.

I know you have seen it. If not, stop what you are doing and watch it right now. It’s a classic. And though I have seen it countless times, I still tend to get chills every single time Jimmy Chitwood walks into the church and gives his little speech to the community. “I think it’s about time I start playing some ball.” To which the community responds with cheers because they think he is only going to play because Coach Norman Dale is headed out. But then, as the cheers die down, Jimmy turns it on him and says, “Just one thing, I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go.” Everyone is hushed. The bitter ex-assistant coach gives a gulp. The old Mom calls out for a revote (“I say we have a revote”). The vote for Coach to stay is now overwhelming. Everyone starts shaking hands with him, then the music starts playing and you know they are going to win it all.

Man I love that movie. I might need to take a break and watch it right now. At least that scene. But of course, if I watch that scene, I am going to watch the rest. Or I am going to head back to the beginning, so I can enjoy the build up to that scene. Or I could not do any of those things and make my point.

My point? Well, “I think it’s bout time I start doing some blogging.”

I know there must be a deep hush in the blogging world in response to that. Or I suppose there could be a few folks calling me to reconsider! Well, either way, it’s time for me to do some writing again, no matter who may or may not be listening. After a long fall with a change in countries and the beginning of a busy season, I have managed to settle in. My email inbox is clear (don’t ask about the next action folder), and I have seen enough Tim Tebow to have to write a blog post about him. Not really (but I am sure I will write that post). But there is always plenty to say.

So get the Hoosiers music rolling. Or don’t. I think it’s about time I start doing some blogging.

See you soon (for real).
