No wifi on our home’s back porch.

 

Note to self:

We get so comfortable with our daily routine that we start accepting things that used to be considered unacceptable.

Having a world class cable provider contract yet being unable to connect to wifi from your back porch.

He turned 15 yesterday. A surprise Disney Cruise was planned with his mother since his dad was going to be in France.

Get them to beg for mercy

Who’s looking after your temptations to quit?

 

Organized to make stuff happen?

The temptation to give in to the constant pressure, and life’s unpredictability is often overwhelming.

USATF is organized to create happiness. Nationals is a big meet. A lot of moving parts – like the human body.

It only takes one moving part to become injured (or disorganized) and the whole thing becomes a potential disaster.
