Either way, he defeats the aging process and this run keeps going.
That’s how I choose to deal with mortality, and it serves me well.
you might pick whatever method suits you.

He had been asked by the Carolina Panthers to interview for their vacant head-coaching job.
The Kraft family … thinks highly of Mayo.
Belichick is fond of him.

But he’s a serious guy who just prefers to focus on his work.
Here’s your proof.
I have no doubt that being knowledgeable about business, ballet, “Jeopardy!”
healthcare and blockchain will make one a better tackle football coach.
Frankly, it’ll make you a betteranythingin life.
That’s why I’m all for giving incentives for government workers to get college degrees.
Having a well-rounded, curious brain is a pure good.
A man of letters and a man in leather.
Hopefully several more Super Bowls from now.
