Growing Up With The World Of Formula One

Thursday, 22 March 2012 15:49 Written by Allan Besselink

MT Historic GP Sat-12The first Formula One race of 2012 – the Australian Grand Prix – was held this past Sunday. It was the first stop in the 20 race world championship that concludes in November in Brazil. On November 18, one week before the championship finale in Brazil, teams will compete in the United States Grand Prix in Austin.

I am looking forward to that day in November when we will hear the wail of Formula One engines emanating from metropolitan Elroy, Texas. The first day of practice will be a special day indeed.

As I look forward with great excitement, I look back with fondness as well. When I was growing up in Canada, Formula One was an integral part of my world – and my youth.

Tuesday, 20 March 2012 23:39 Written by Allan Besselink

March MadnessThe University of Texas Longhorns’ appearance in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament was a microcosm of their season. It was as if someone had reduced their season – highlights and lowlights – to one 40 minute first round matchup against Cincinnati.

You didn’t need to watch the rest of the season, because lo and behold, it was all there in one game. The whole ugly roller coaster 2011-2012 season was on display.

Once again, the Longhorn Nation were left hanging in the balance, with far too many questions and very few answers.

The Inconvenient Truth About Normal

Tuesday, 07 May 2013 22:29 Written by Allan Besselink

System Is NormalMal-alignment: the scourge of modern day health care practitioners. According to many, it is the root of all clinical evil in the orthopedic world. It has been used to rationalize countless clinical scenarios and treatment interventions.

Rumor has it that resolution of this malady is also the solution to world hunger and peace in the Middle East. But I digress.

Oh, mal-alignment. How you tantalize us with the hypothetical world in which you contribute so much to so many. But understanding you would require a deeper understanding of "normal" first, now wouldn't it?

Which brings us to - the inconvenient truth about normal.
