CRASH PAD - Disaster can happen in an instant when a split second decision goes wrong.

It took me a few months to accept that I had given myself tendinosis in my phone thumb. It is a depressingly modern condition in which the tendons around the thumb inflame as a result of repetitive strain — in my case because I had, for hours a day over years of a life, tapped that right-hand digit onto the glass of my smartphone.

In 2016, Tom Breese was the talk of UFC London.

On the night, Breese passed the test of experience, but he tasted his first defeat four months later when he came up short against Sean Strickland after a competitive three rounds.

In the spring of 1991, the choir from my rural Eastern Washington high school was scheduled to tour the west side of the state. As our trip was due to intersect with a Mariners home stand against the Yankees, some of us asked the authorities if we might be able to attend a game in the Kingdome. The authorities assented, and a busload of choir members signed up to purchase tickets for seats above the left-field wall.
