My dad posted a question to Brooke while we were in Japan asking: What was Brooke’s most memorable experience. (Brooke and I on a suspension bridge next to Ty Harbor in Tokyo) Yesterday she posted this in the comments: “to: papa Phee!  my most memorable experience of the trip was being blessed to be with [...]

THE GREATEST HOTEL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! I know that sounds like a bold statement but I tell you, The Ritz Carlton Midtown Tokyo in Japan is by far the best hotel Brooke and I have ever stayed in.  It was “Sugoi” (Great/wonderful) or “Utsukushii” (Beautiful)!

[...]

If anybody has any questions you want to ask me or Brooke leave a comment and I’ll get to them today after practice. Thanks again for following along.

Lou Holtz can hold a team meeting like nobody I’ve seen!  He’s the got the perfect mix of humor, intensity, sincerity, and passion. This is the first time meeting when we got to to Japan.  We have just had dinner and all the players and wives were there for this meeting. Watch Lou in action, [...]
