her two kids rode the fan bus to the USM vs LSU game in Baton Rouge. Taking the bus and not having to drive in the traffic was a great decision! The trip and the first half of the game were perfect, but because this is a family blog, I will withhold my thoughts on the second half of the game. However, despite the second half disappointment, the trip was a success. Not only did my grandson who is a big LSU fan get to see the campus and attend a game in Tiger Stadium, I had a whole day and…

positive attention would make us glow inside, and we would do anything to receive that feeling again. That game taught us how to interact with other people, and how to perceive the world as a combination of separate objects. But that’s not all we learnt. The game also taught us that the way to obtain a person’s approval and attention is to do exactly what they want! That seemingly innocent game ingrained a deep-seated desire to fit in with, and impress, other people. And that desire…

was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field. I could smell the popcorn in the air, and Jack said he wanted some so I bought it. "Today 's my last game" said Jack "are you coming back next…
