We tend to take every breath for granted, and the fragility of life never really hits home until we lose someone we love; or even someone we know, for that matter.
Mike West--friend, teacher, coach, colleague, husband, father, student, adviser, mentor--passed away yesterday morning from an apparent heart attack. I don't know many details, but I know this was very unexpected, as most situations such as this are.
I'm not really good at talking about things like this, so I'll encourage everyone to click on HEATHER'S blog over to the the left of this page ("Heather (who sits behind Jo[e]"). She's done a great job of remembering Coach West for many of the positive and humorous details that made him so likable to those of us who know him as an instructor and a colleague. Thanks, Heather.

omg. I found something that will shock and amaze you.
This website has bags with 'angry little girls' on them, and they're pretty funny.
I laughed out lod for, like, three minutes straight when I saw this one.
Just think Joe.
