Happy World Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day, everyone. This day and the month of April mean a lot to me as an autistic adult, and I wanted to speak to it a little bit.

In the last year or two, my life has grown exponentially, and I continue to find ways to flourish. Yes, I have my difficulties as an autistic adult pretty regularly, but I do not allow that to overshadow all of the great things happening in my life.

One thing I have seen in my life and other autistic people's lives is being told what they can and can't do and being very limited in growth and the ability to thrive in life. I was one of those people for a long time, but after the experience, I would tell autistic parents, kids, and adults to reach for the stars and follow their passions and dreams. You never know where this might lead.

In the last few days, I got one of my biggest film career opportunities. I cannot wait to share more about it soon and document my experience for all of you. This opportunity seems larger than life, and I am still blown away and feel speechless about it.

But it's not just that; last year, I married my beautiful wife, @saraklumb, and our award-winning film Change has been in film festivals worldwide. I am nearing completion of my first feature film and hope to finish it by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. I also helped run a film festival and done public speaking engagements. I recently became a part of the @flutiefdn family and am a cohost of a podcast with one of my best friends, @jennifermsumba. I am also a filmmaker and a member of the Stars of the Spectrum Golf League. One of my favorite things these days is being a barista at @bittyandbeaus Coffee, which adds more structure to my life, gives me the opportunity to have a job in a supportive work environment, and the ability to make new friends.

Just remember to follow your dreams and not let anyone hold you back. The worst thing that could happen is that things remain the same, but you won't know unless you try.

Have a great day, everyone!

I kinda didn’t want to say but I hate seeing so many people say Joe is such a bad person. My cousin is on the board of the Heisman trust. She’s part of the group who picks who is up for it and she was instrumental in Reggie Bush getting his back. Anyway the year Burrow won she made the announcement. NIL was coming in and him and the there players had all these rules they had to follow about autographs and stuff.

She said he was super nervous but he never shied away from all the attention. She said at the dinners people were asking him and Olivia for pictures and she kept hanging back, she didn’t want the attention. She said Doug Flutie said to him hey she’s giving you your time to shine and he said no she just doesn’t want to be in the limelight. The impression the whole time was she wanted none of this. just another side to it. Maybe it’s not always him

Don't specific journalists pick the finalists?

Wow Low E.

I've learned that we now have a medical condition called "LOW E". Know what it is? Low Energy. Yep, you got no pep in your step? You might have LOW E. My dad would have addressed my Low E with a Kick in the A. I identify Low E as "Big Lazy". Wonder if I could get a medic alert bracelet for when I have a LOW E day. I know from watching celebrities like Doug Flutie on TV many men have LOW T. I asked my wife if she was happy with my "T" Level. I got a double thumbs up.  Why is it that everything these days needs a cool nickname? Let me throw out a couple that you can feel free to use. Let's start with Vegans, which I would like to label "Picky Eaters". Doesn't sound cool, but a picky eater is what you are. We all have a friend who is not an idiot, but always seems to make stupid choices. I'm for giving that individual the label of suffering from (S.C.S.). That stands for Stupid Choice Syndrome. You have that pal who was in the top ten in his graduating class. Was accepted to some major colleges with scholarships but decided to pass on that and open up a Quilting Business out of his parent's garage. Yep, he suffers from Stupid Choice Syndrome. Everything has a new twist to how it's perceived. I see ads for Fertility Clinics.  Wow, people struggling to have a baby. When I grew up the fertility drug of choice was alcohol. I remember my uncle giving an educational chat to us kids during a family gathering about the birds and the bees. The story involved a few beers, birds and bees, and the bird removing its Bra.  (I didn't even know birds wore bras.  I took up the hobby of bird watching for a few weeks after his talk.) Don't hear that style of educational education any longer. I have taken notice of how many celebrity spokespeople are blending their foods. We can now purchase a portable blender to pack with us to make healthy smoothies while on the go. Sorry if this makes me a smoothie snob but if I have a smoothie it must be topped with Reddi-Whip. I don't think I could conveniently carry a blender and can of Reddi-Whip. I have a friend that only eats Free Range Eggs. Quizzed her as to why? What's your deal? Says she only wants to eat eggs from chickens that have been working out. So I asked "So you want eggs from a bird that's been jogging and pumping iron." She said I was making it sound weird, but yeah. No worries I told her. It's a fact that each of us knows one weirdo. You're now mine. She then asked if I had any unusual food quirks. I confessed I am extremely devoted to all the coffee mate Seasonal Flavors.  I've mentioned to my daughters if they have any more girls I'm for naming them Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha.

Classic Vol Video: ESPN: FBS 1992-Hall of Fame Bowl-Boston Eagles @ Tennessee Volunteers: Full Game

. The Daily Journal An interesting coaching matchup with Tom Coughlin of Boston who would later lead the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars to the 1996 NFL Playoffs, including the 1996 AFC Championship and the 1999 AFC Championship. But before Jacksonville, he rebuilt the Boston Eagles football program. That hadn’t been very good at all since Doug Flutie left in 1985. And of course Coughlin goes on…

American Cornhole League Kicks-Off SuperHole IV With Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Lockett, Justin Turner and Joc Pederson Live on ESPN

The American Cornhole League (ACL) is thrilled to announce the return of “SuperHole,” presented by Johnsonville - an annual pro-am series of competitive cornhole events that kicks off the Friday before the Big Game and pairs ACL Pros with celebrities to compete LIVE on ESPN in what has become one of TVs “must see events” around Big Game weekend. 

SuperHole IV is a multi-event cornhole series hosted throughout the year where 32 ACL Pros are paired with 32 celebrities to compete for charity – culminating in the finals alongside the ACL World Championships, which take place this August. The first prelim will be held on Friday, February 10 live at 10:30 PM MST / 12:30 AM EST from Scottsdale, Arizona and features a “football vs baseball” theme, with former QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and star WR Tyler Lockett joining current baseball stars Justin Turner and Joc Pederson to square off in everyone’s favorite backyard game under the bright lights.

The ACL will also debut its third annual ACL Pro Shootout Series airing live on ESPN2 immediately following SuperHole IV. The Pro Shootout Series is presented by DIRECTV who joins the ACL family for the first time as the presenting sponsor of the series as well as a supporting sponsor of SuperHole IV’s kickoff broadcast. Representing DIRECTV in Scottsdale will be Tyler Lockett, who will qualify to play for Ronald McDonald House Charities in Rock Hill should he win.

Since launching in 2016 the ACL has become one of the fastest growing sports in the world, attracting broadcast deals with ESPN and CBS / CBS Sports. The league’s tagline “Anyone can play, anyone can win” along with its ability to be played anywhere has the league on a fast track for success.  Along with the “SuperHole”series, the ACL hosts a variety of pro and amateur events. The ACL’s strong sponsor support includes year-long partners Johnsonville, Bush’s and AllCornhole.com, along with individual event sponsors Ultra Cornhole and Reynolds Bags.

The first SuperHole began in 2019 as a one time event where Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold in a “battle of New York” match-up. Since then a multi-event series has taken off with a variety of personalities  participating, including two-time SuperHole champion Doug Flutie, Rashad Jennings, Mac Jones, Devonta Smith, Jay Cutler, Shemar Moore, Phil Hellmuth, David Lim, Dawn Staley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Dale Moss, Chuck Lidell, Vernon Davis, Zach Miller, Dion Dawkins, Kyle Van Noy, Greg Gaines, Terry Kirby, Brett Young, Jeff Mauro and more.

“We’re excited to continue building on the popularity of SuperHole, which has been a huge success in past years with fans – last year’s model of extending the excitement throughout the season was a resounding hit with our audience, both in person and with those tuning in from home,” said Stacey Moore, Commissioner and Founder of the American Cornhole League. “This year will feature all of the action, celebrities, and competition cornhole fans have come to know and love.” 

“I played in a lot of cities in my career, and one thing was consistent across all of them – cornhole being the game of choice for tailgaters,” added former QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. “While I obviously never had a chance to join them before, I’m excited to show off my bag skills!” 

“I know the fans love this game, it’s perfect for tailgating – you can even pick up cornhole bags with my name and jersey number at our team shop,” remarked star WR Tyler Lockett. “I’m planning on going out there and showing the fans that their favorite players can mix it up on the cornhole boards as well as on the gridiron.” 

“Me and my wife Kourtney love to play cornhole, we even had it at our wedding– it’s actually one of our favorite pastimes,” said all-star 3B Justin Turner. “Hopefully I can go out there and make her proud!”

“When I heard Justin was playing I couldn’t resist the opportunity to go out and compete against him,” added star OF Joc Pederson. “Sure, we’re friends but once the bags and boards are out all that goes out the window!” 

SuperHole IV Matchups on Friday, Feb. 10 at 10:30pm MT  include:

ACL Pro Cheyenne Bubenheim (current Women Singles World Champion) and star WR Tyler Lockett vs

ACL Pro Ryan Smith (5 time ACL Title Winner) and former top QB, Ryan Fitzpatrick

ACL Pro Daymon Dennis (5-time Senior singles World Champion) and All-Star 3B Justin Turner vs

ACL Pro Jimmy McGuffin (current Senior Singles World Champion) and baseball star Joc Pederson

The American Cornhole League hosts competition and tournaments across the amateur, collegiate, and pro ranks with thousands of players taking part every year. For additional information on how to participate visit iplaycornhole.com.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING - https://keywestlou.com/happy-thanksgiving-6/Happy Thanksgiving! I love holidays. Miss "my holidays." As we get older, everything seems to change. Ergo, the "my holidays" reference. One thing missing in my old age is the special smell associated with Thanksgiving. From the time I woke, the cooking turkey and other foods permeated the house. Noisy, too. The women cooking and joking in the kitchen. The smell and noise non existent the past 15 years. Thanksgiving at Lisa's most of those years. Some Thanksgivings have been shared with friends at their homes or restaurants. Same thing.....noise and smell absent. Understandable. Not my home where the cooking and prep work being done. I am a grateful guest for dinner later in the day. Tonight, I am enjoying the holiday meal with Don and Chris at La Te Da. The company will make up for the lack of smell and noise. On this day in 1971, Frank Romano and Joe Liszka opened Key West Fragrance and Cosmetics on Front Street. A unique facility! No other like it in Key West or elsewhere. Good things for the body were sold. Especially for women. The few male items included after shave lotion. I have been using Key West Aloe After Shave for 20 plus years. How good it feels! The store was huge. Odor/smell again. Hit you in the face as you entered. Delicately, of course. Unfortunately, the store is long gone. Sold by Frank and Joe years ago. A tiny store located elsewhere on Front Street. Manufacturing part of the business somewhere else in Florida. Frank and Joe were active in the Key West community. Instrumental in establishing Fantasy Fest. Both gentlemen long gone. I became friends with Frank late in his life. We met while working out at the same gym. I became a visitor to their home. Tastefully furnished with an aura begetting their store. The new crazy Republican House leadership which takes over in January plans on investigating Fauci. They don't like how he handled COVID. Especially the vaccination portion. The group probably will speak well of China in some non-COVID respects. Anything to make Biden look bad. I note in this mornings papers that China's COVID numbers have hit record highs. How will the radical House members explain China while attacking Fauci? For whatever reason, Pennsylvania has two communities bearing odd ball names. Names with sexual connotations. Intercourse and Blue Balls. Intercourse an appealing appellation. Blue Balls, not. Yesterday November 23, 1984 was a significant day in the life of Doug Flutie. With a second remaining, he threw a long Hail Mary pass into the end zone which a team mate caught. The result was Boston College beating Miami 47-45. Flutie won the Heisman trophy and then went on to playing 21 seasons of professional football. John Kennedy was assassinated November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. Two days later, his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was being removed from the Dallas Police Station to be taken somewhere else. He was being walked up a driveway from an underground parking area. Surrounded by all kinds of police. And everyone else. The driveway was crowded. I was watching the scene on my mother in law's TV. Thinking, how stupid! Someone's going to shoot Oswald. And someone did! Suddenly Jack Ruby walked up to him, shot and mortally wounded Oswald. Live on TV. Enjoy your holiday!
