WeissCrax: ‘Nooner on the run
Let’s face it….
Pretty much everyone in the working world knows – whether they dare admit it or not – that life would be incredibly great if they only got “a little action” at lunch.
There, I’ve said it!
Just to be clear — we’re talking something sexy here to get the heart rate up. Maybe even get [...]
WeissCrax: Life’s greatest ambassador
He’s the type of guy who can do it all…and usually does.
Soccer. Hoops. Baseball. Floor hockey. As a player. As a coach.
But more than anything else, Desmond Banning is my best friend. We met at work seven years ago. He delivers our mail and always-inspiration.
“Thanks for coming in today,” he tells others during his daily [...]
WeissCrax: Spinning out of Control
It’s Tuesday morning and that means one thing: SPINNING CLASS! Here’s the 4-1-1…
4:11AM – No chance of hitting the alarm’s snooze bar – I’m up!
Today, everyone in Mankind – Womankind too—will be gunning for one of 24 bikes in the 5:45 a.m. spinning class (think exercise on stationary bikes) at my health club.
Every second counts! [...]
WeissCrax: February Madness
The words shot out of my mouth with zero hope of pulling ‘em back…“Sure. Sounds like fun.”
It was my response to my friend Mike’s “Why-don’t-you-join-me-on-Sunday” prompting.
The truth is…
I hadn’t been surfing in nearly 40 years!!
Growing up on the East Coast, skim boarding was my game. That little round disc thrown at water’s edge [...]
WeissCrax: What the Halleck?
What the Halleck?
Attended an awesome venue recently! At the Carriage Museum. Thought, at first, wrong spot and at a Halleck Family Reunion!
WHOA! They were everywhere!
Then, the most amazing thing — a San Marcos High School Athletic Boosters Club party broke out!
Turned out to be a spectacular evening of fun, family and friendship! About 250 people [...]
WeissCrax: Girls…Girls…Girls!
“Girls…Girls…Girls. Hello, girls!” One of my fave lines from that old flick, Arthur, starring the late Dudley Moore before he died.
And that’s what it seemed like today at the National Girls and Women in Sports Day Luncheon at Earl Warren Showgrounds sponsored by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table. Girls – actually incredible young ladies – [...]
WeissCrax: Knicks, Lakers clash brings me back
LA Lakers vs. NY Knicks.
Tonight!
My all-time favorite classic series starting years ago and worlds away. It’s Friday evening in Santa Barbara but many melded memories take me back…
It’s the late 1960s in Bayport, NY along “Long Giland’s” southern shores – 60 miles east from The Center of My Universe: Madison Square Garden (MSG). Winter hoops [...]
WeissCrax: The virtues of turning into a “MoBro”
Group Fitness — It’s never been my thing.
Until last year. That’s when I took a flying leap at a friend’s urging.
Now I’m a “MoBro” — my manly-man descriptor for a being among a handful of dudes in estrogen-laden Momentum 4 Life, an amazing local training group about 10 years strong.
There are seventy athletes, including 65 of the [...]
WeissCrax: 26.2 miles of civic pride
Cowbell.
You can never have enough cowbell.
It grabs your attention and rattles right through you, like Sunday morning during Santa Barbara’s very own international marathon – it was everywhere!
There was cowbell behind Costco….cowbell on Cathedral Oaks…on Cliff Drive… and certainly cowbell down to the finish line near our spectacular Santa Barbara City College on the coast.
Cindy [...]
