HOME / BOB’S BLOG

Bob Wilber grew up aspiring to follow in his father’s baseball footsteps, and while he was able to secure a full college scholarship and later spend parts of six years in professional ball, as a player, coach, and scout, his mother’s writing, communications, and public relations skills were what eventually defined his career. After a successful and adventurous sports-marketing trek through the sports-apparel business, agency work, and professional indoor soccer, he saw his first drag race as he closed in on his 40th birthday. Little did he know that he’d go on to spend 20 consecutive years as a team manager and PR representative for Del Worsham and then Tim Wilkerson, two of the most popular Funny Car drivers on the NHRA tour. At the conclusion of the 2015 season, Bob ended his drag racing run in order to take on an important personal assignment. Over the course of 2016 he wrote his autobiography, entitled “Bats, Balls, & Burnouts.” It was released in late May, 2017 and is available on Amazon.com and other major online book retailers, in both printed and digital formats. For the last year, Bob has been writing a new book, in the “historical fiction” genre. It’s entitled “How Far?” and was published on January 22, 2022. It is available on Amazon.com. Bob’s website was launched on February 10, 2022. Visit Bob’s Site to learn more about his life and his books.

As The Hot Tub Drains…

July 19th, 2018

Welcome back, blog nation. This is going to have to be a short one this week, because I seem to all of a sudden have more things to do than I have time to do them. And, to make it slightly more frantic, it looks like it’s about to rain and that will only make the challenge greater. But, I’m up for it. Or at least I’m going to give it a shot.

It’s Just a Pesky Parallel Universe

July 13th, 2018

Have you ever heard about the theories of parallel universes, or alternate realities? It’s not all science fiction, because real scientist who are far smarter than me continue to postulate and hypothesize on many theories, and they not only can’t rule it out they also see evidence of it being real. Stephen Hawking was actually writing a paper about it when he passed away.

Of Mountains and Mosquitos

July 5th, 2018

Welcome back, gang. As has been well documented here, Barbara and I have been pretty much in a whirlwind of travel as of late, whether it was Trans-Atlantic to Amsterdam, or down south to Orlando to visit family, or more recently to St. Louis and then to Colorado. I’ll recap the trip to the Rockies today, and catch up on local news (and weather and maybe sports.) But first, we’ll head west to Berthoud, Colorado to recap those festivities.

Funsville By The Muddy Mississippi

June 28th, 2018

Welcome back to Blog Central everyone, and this time I made it happen on the correct day. The birthday trip to St. Louis seems like a long time ago now, but fortunately I documented most of it with digital images and that allows the memories to come back vividly. Bottom line: We had a GREAT time and everything about the trip was fun, positive, and in many cases delicious.
