Rojo Grande's Bio

Living in the mythical State of Jefferson (formerly southern Oregon), one of the nicest places on Earth.
Lady Red and I work a small farm in the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains.

Besides sports, things that interest me:

~ The worship music of Misty Edwards

~ The plight of the Degar, Vietnam's indigenous mountain people

~ Vintage acoustic guitars

~ Collectible and classic guns

~ Watch this inspiring lesson in persistence.

Hello Buddy, take a look at this important article. It will most likely be my last on bleacher report. Feel free to pass it around. Thank you very much and God Bless!

Rojo,

Looks like there will be some good battles between the Nuggs and your Blazers this year. I can see the division title going down to the last week again. Should be fun.

Hope you can give it a shot - it's a new series.

Can the Knicks' Jared Jeffries at the very least regain some of his pride this season?

hey rojo,

Two new articles I wrote this week which haven't been getting much coverage.

Check this one out from yesterday on Roy Hibbert & Greg Oden, two rising centers in the NBA:

Perv! I did ^.^ & I thought.. the man can't get any cooler than that! ..was funny.

Reading your 2016 next..

That was a cool sight. I never imagined the Coachman article would go any further than B/R so the fact that it was a part of Track and Field news was very flattering.

I told my mother about it and she was all proud and smiling from ear to ear. As it turns out, my late father, was a HUGE track buff and when they started dating he would often take her to the Penn Relays—it was a yearly trek for him.

Track and Field news was a part of his reading rotation and he followed the sport with almost as much passion as he did football.

So, that said, I appreciate your letting me know that as I likely never would have thought to look. Plus, the added bonus of the convo with my mom about my dad, who died 20-years ago, was worth every minute.

Thanks again, Rojo. I truly appreciate it!

Your message made me smile this morning, once I put the Spanish part through GoogleTranslate :P

Thanks...Same to you, Sir! Actually, I have no idea when your day starts in relation to mine, what's the time difference between you and me?

Great days are a virtual impossibility in my life at the moment, but you certainly set me up nicely to have a good one :-)

Wow! I have to say that is truly an honor, Rojo. I appreciate your letting me know that—never would have thought it would be so well-received. However, I am glad to see that it still has legs :)

Yeah we were trying to figure out stuff.

No need of formality, Rojo... feel free...

And I like the "Rojo on the left, Jackass on the right" line :-)

Great to meet ya...I am guessing you have a lot of sense of humour too
