O'Dell's Bio

Hello All,

My name is O'Dell Isaac, but nearly everyone I know calls me Ike. I often feel like I'm swimming in a digital sea while wearing an analog life jacket, but this blogging thing is starting to grow on me.

I served as a journalist in the Navy for ten years, during which time I wrote more than 200 sports articles. As a native New Yorker, I root for the Giants, Yankees, and Knicks, in that order (for now). As you can imagine, Boston is killing me right now. The Red Sox are defending champs, the Celtics just won the title, and the Patriots will be back. The Giants are the only thing keeping me off a window ledge.

    Ike, that was great! Thanks for sharing those memories. I have some very similar ones. Work was long and hard on those farms, but the people were folks who had faith in the Lord, and believed in helping each other out! They had character!

    I often have to re-edit my editors. The big issue is that I don't necessarily want my headlines or writing style to fit the mold of B/R guidelines. It's called creativity.
