OT: An Old Friend Offers This Advice...
Thirty-five years ago, I became friends with an aspiring Detroit Free Press sports writer by the name of Mitch Albom. He was the "third roommate" in a house occupied by my brother Jay and another friend named Ken Droz. Those were the days...
Mitch has since gone on to do great things.
Albom penned this piece last week concerning a recent trip to the hospital to meet with his Doctor. Thought it offered up some good advice on "finding the positive" in this unique moment in time...

Here are the sports; baseball, lacrosse, golf, rowing, softball and tennis
