WHY DO I BLOG?
I decided to grab another cup of coffee and sit down and write my blog on a rainy Saturday afternoon. As I sat down in my comfortable recliner and contemplated on what to blog about, I asked myself “Why do I write a blog each week?” Before I began writing this week’s blog I looked back over the 300 blogs that I have written and … Continue reading WHY DO I BLOG?
Family, Fairways & Food
Another Raymo Cup is in the books, and I’m happy to report that the tradition is still going strong. This was our 24th year of getting the guys together to golf, catch up, and just enjoy being family. Between my brothers Jim and Greg, our sons, the grandsons—including my grandson Zane—and a few brave in-laws and cousins once in a while, we usually have a … Continue reading Family, Fairways & Food
MY SONS ARE GREAT DADS
On this Father’s Day, my mind and heart are full. I’m spending today thinking about my own dad—he was a truly good man, and I miss him. But I’m also looking at the next generation. I have to say, nothing makes me prouder than watching my three sons with their own kids. They have turned into absolutely phenomenal fathers, and seeing that is the best … Continue reading MY SONS ARE GREAT DADS

While I was driving my golf cart around … Continue reading RAYMO’S SECOND CALLING! MOVE OVER, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!
SHOULD I RETIRE?

I’ll be 69 years old this September, and if I’m being completely honest, I think the biggest reason it’s on my mind is because a good number of my friends and family members are hanging it up. Everywhere I look, people are crossing the finish … Continue reading SHOULD I RETIRE?
A BUS RIDE
I’ve had many highlights in my career broadcasting high school sports on Q-92, but last Thursday, my heart grew a little bit bigger. I spent the day with the LQPV Boys Volleyball team, and it was, without exaggeration, one of the best experiences of my broadcasting career. As many of you know, I live for high school playoff season. There’s a special magic in the … Continue reading A BUS RIDE
LETTER TO MY 18 YEAR OLD SELF
I was sitting in the Montevideo gym for my granddaughter’s baccalaureate service, listening to the preacher deliver his message. As I looked out at the graduates, a thought hit me: If I could talk to myself at 18 years old, knowing what I know now, what advice would I give him? What would I tell that young, sharp-looking 18-year-old—fresh out of high school, packed up, … Continue reading LETTER TO MY 18 YEAR OLD SELF
