Back in 1995 I started a little business called Delaware Sports. It began as a local cable television show and blossomed into what is now a small sports video production service.
The show itself was really a labor of love. Over the course of its 13-year run I spent so much money that I have no chance of being able to retire someday. To this day I struggle with the financial troubles I had trying to produce a weekly television show with the help of one other part-time person and basically zero support from the business community.
I had to finally decide to take on something different which is why I transitioned into the area where I am now with my stage hypnosis shows.
But there are a lot of things that I miss about working on Delaware Sports on a daily basis.
At this time of the year here, the high school state championship tournaments are taking place. Since I do still videotape for clients I get to head out to see a lot of games.
I don’t know all of the players like I used to know them, but I love the atmosphere. Its fun to watch all of the kids so emotionally involved in these events from the players to the fans to the ball girls at the girl’s soccer games. (The parents are sometimes not so fun to watch, but they do add something else about which to speak as well.)
I met a lot of great kids over the years covering Delaware Sports. Those of who you who access this blog through Facebook would find a lot of them on my connections list. So I miss developing those types of potential long-term relationships.
So during each of the three seasons of high school sports championships I struggle with whether or not to start anything up like that again. There are less expensive ways to do this now, I say to myself.
Now, I do have a growing staff of people working on our podcast show, The Dungeon of Manlove, and we are planning an entire network of shows (one is actually already running and three others are in the works.) It would stand to reason that it would be a little easier to get something like that going again.
I would just have to make sure that there is advance financing for that though. The sales staff we are working to create would have to get companies signed up in advance. That’s always tough to do.
Now the summer season of television is ready to start. I don’t know exactly why I want to write about TV in this space, but I have found that I like to do so. Since I don’t get paid to do this either, I will simply do what I want and say what I want….SO THERE!

| How It's Done |
Crap. I was supposed to write more about baseball here. Well, it’s been tough to get excited about it. The dirty Phillies are visiting my beloved Mets right now and had two come-from-behind victories in the first two games, so that’s not boosting my baseball mood.
The Red Sox have been on fire and are now in first, as predicted earlier. I just need the Braves to step up since that was the bolder pick in the NL East, but they aren’t cutting the mustard just yet.
Phillie fans are now giving Chase Utley Chuck Norris-like attention, which doesn’t make any sense at all. I won’t go through all of the Chuck Norris jokes here to which they are trying to compare Chase Utley. But they don’t make any sense because Utley is often injured. Sure, he comes back, but if he doesn’t play he can’t do anything heroic. It’s very important to note, naturally, that Chuck Norris never gets injured, he only inflicts injuries so therefore Utley could never be Norris-like in actuality or in tale.

I realize that this winning thing that the Phillies have brought to
Done.
