Crawdaddy Cove

Who

RLCI am Rob Crawford. They ask, “Why do you write a blog?” I answer, “Because the canvas is there.”

I am a highly involved husband and parent of five children, all under the age of 9. A one-time middle school teacher and coach, my career is now focused on helping schools set and achieve high aspirations for effectiveness and impact. In October, 2007, I placed second in the election for President of Red Sox Nation, and President Remy selected me to be Vice President.

I am pretty much the luckiest guy on the face of the earth.

    I LOVE your blog. I love the way it looks. I love the thoughtful commentary on life topics. I love your willingness to put yourself “out there” and take on life in big gulps. The world needs more Rob Crawfords.

    Rob, thank you! Thank you for the life lessons you give. Probably, it’s a common responsibility to share such a knowledges/idea with other people, but not many of us really do it. Sure, everyone have his own thought on life events, but it’s very useful to know others’ positions; it helps to fix yours.

    It’s little bit hard to read a party philosophic articles in English for me, but I read your blog without the thoughts about how to translate it. Otherway, I can read you thougths here, instead of the words. That’s grate!

    Thank you and other people who do what you do!

    happy to find the blog as I was looking for your e-mail. Robert Earl Keen will be in in Northampton in November…hmmmm

    Stage 5 — what might that be. Delusional. Like Shaughnasy’s column today saying regular season is a warmup for the playoffs — just like the patriots.

    Like believing we’re going to waltz into post season seven games up — and no fight from the big bad empire to the South.

    Loved the blog. Can’t pull up the song.

    Received CD’s but was gone for three days and only now catching up. Can’t wait to hear it.

    Go Sox.

    Hey Rob,

    It’s been about ten years now since my Derby days and I still have not forgotten being in the classroom or on the basketball court with you. You’ve always remained a real inspiration. You have my vote. I just posted to my Red Sox Nation group composed of a thousand faithful Red Sox fans at Boston University. Hope all is well. Keep up the great work.

    Rob,
    Your blog and your comportment during the campaign were exemplary, but even more so was the gracious manner in which you approached it all. Love the blog and love that we are raising our kids the same…it must be something in the Taylor Crossway water…..
    Keep it up!

    Hey Rob -

    Congratulations on the Vice Presidency! My mom has been keeping me updated with all of the OSC mailings.

    I can’t think of a better person for the position (well, except maybe your Dad).

    Good Luck!

    Hi, Mr. Crawford! Congrats on being VP for Red Sox Nation! Thank you for my 10-year letter last year; what a wonderful, surprise gift in the mail. Go, Sox!

    Hi Rob:

    Geez. I cannot figure out how to send you a message via that BHS thingie. Let me know what’s life like with you, if you feel so bold. Here’s my email.

    To think that I knew someone as brilliant as you and dated your brother. Fantastically awesome blog. Great stories, wonderful parenting insight. Thank you. If you haven’t already, write a book on raising a Red Sox Fans. I owe many of my fenway memories to your family. I cherish them. Five kids?@!!@?

    Errrrr RoboCrawf,

    Paul Cachion here. I’m lovin’ this action. I enjoyed the blog, and am very psyched for your appointment to VP of the Red Sox Nation. I wish you luck with fulfilling your duties (even shooting folks in the face; or is that a differnt VP role?).

    Sweet song too, my man. I’ve got to get to work on one for the Phils.
