Motivation: no matter what you do...
We juge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
Each body has its art...
Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-)
This one is for my Grandparents...
"The reason that grandparents and grandchildren get along so
well is that they have a common enemy."
- Sam Levinson (1911-1980)
Who's is the enemy...
That's for you to figure out.
:)
Grandparents - you got to love em...
Who has traveled with their grandparents before? I haven't until yesterday, and it's the funniest thing seeing them fight. Grandma would say "Keith, oh keith, would you stop that?" and all Grandpa ever replies is, "uhuh - stop what? Phillis what are you talking about." Every time she would say something to him that is what he would reply. I had to bite my lip to keep myself from laughing most the time. Then when we would stop somewhere to look around it would take a good 10 minutes before Grandpa would shut off the car and get out. They would be talking about nothing the whole time repeating the same thing over and over again.
Who out there goes camera crazy, takes videos of things that you can see every where? I swear, my Grandpa don't go anywhere, even to the bathrooms without his camera. He has to take a video of everything. We went out to eat and he's taking a video of the waitress taking our order! Sometimes, its alright to leave the camera in the car.
But, I just had the funnest time with them yesterday we went all the way to South Point looking at things, some I have never seen before. I think it was one of my best road trips I've ever had. I laughed, saw new things, and was just taking it easy. No rushing, and it was peaceful. Yesterday, we saw the 60 foot cliff, we say GREEN sand, we saw an ocean of rolling greens, trees big enough to live in, we saw the beauty of Hawaii together. No matter how rediculous grandparents may be, they are the best people to spend time with.
... another big thing about my grandma - she ALWAYS has gum and everytime the subject changes she would ask, "Would you like some gum?" lol... "Well i'll be"
I love you Grandma and Grandpa - God Bless

a "Quote" on "Life"
Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
-Richard Bach
I am still here - There is work to be done!
It's a mystery
Back in Hawaii...
After the long flight home I was picked up by my family, dad, grandma and grandpa. I was shocked when I saw grandpa, first time I have ever seen him wear shorts. Boy, I wish I would have gotten a picture of that! He didn't look to bad either. He has very white legs though. Well, it's good to be home. The nice thing is that the day I came home I got to see alot of people. Grant (from bikeworks) was having a little get to gether and we were invited. I was so happy to see everyone. Bree Wee was there with you son and husband, Linda and her son from Switzerland, Linda Jane, Luis D, and just many other people. There was a celebration of several birthdays and the food was magnificant. I had a fun time, out there on the beach and just chilin with everyone... thanks for the invite. It was great seeing everyone again and good luck Grant on your upcoming race. Best wishes for you Bree in Canada, kick butt!
Today - got up early and back into a regular training. I went to Masters and went swimming. Wow, it's been a while and it's nice to have people to swim with or a big group to swim with. Back in Illinios I swam with my uncle - training buddy!! I didn't really get to train as much as I would have liked to train more with him but I guess there is always a next time. It was fun.
Alright, lets see. I beleive we have 3 MONTHS until the BIG RACE! the IRONMAN, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!! It's time to get training, and working hard! All of you competiters out there I wish you the best and be safe.
