After roughly 200 posts as “All Bets Are Off”, it is time
for a new look on my personal blog. I
have enjoyed my chronic training load and sunset over Standley Lake since
August, 2009.
My colorful commentary will now be enjoyed as “The Whole
Nine Yards.” The origin of this phrase
is a little more elusive, but is commonly attributed to WWII gunners firing an
aircraft’s full nine yards of ammunition.
However, the phrase did not appear in any literature until 40 years
after the war. A Google search
immediately brings up the 2000 film with Amanda Peet.
For me, the whole nine yards will be a reminder to give
everything when it counts. In life, with
family at work and in sport, I want my blog to reflect giving 100% effort. Let’s see what the next 200 posts have to
offer.
