Tri Weekend- The Results!

Jun 16 2008

Published by Squirrel at 5:24 pm under get off yer butt, jeez! i'm glad that's over!

Well…. Monday. We’ve returned from Calgary where we left dear Filipes at the airport- his annual trip to the office. In Delaware. This means I will be alone. All week. With miscreants. Alone. All week. Oh, God. Somebody help me…. can anyone hear me…? Oh, God. It’s only Monday. Not even 24 hours… unghhh…

I digress…. We left Calgary this morning. The city is a treat. Really. As I’ve mentioned before, the streets are lined with gold and the SUV’s encrusted in diamonds. My beat up old Odyssey looks downright woodsy amongst the Hummers, Pimped out Dodge Ram Crew Cabs, Lexuses (Lexus’… Lexii…?), Beemers, Audis, Volvos…. whatever. They’re all shiny new and you can hear each and every one of them belching happy and satisfied the alphabet on $1.40/litre. I do love to dip my toe in the excess even if only for a couple of hours. Then… back to the sticks.

Oh, my… ANYWAYS… we left right after our event yesterday to get to Calgary so that Husband could catch early a.m flight to Philadelphia.

But, back to event.

I came an amazing 152nd overall in the Sprint Course. Out of over a thousand!! What a day. Oh yes. What a feeling of accomplishment. We can’t wait for next year!

Oh……. Did I say over a thousand? Hmmm. I meant… 158.  There’s always next year….

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. -Charles Kettering

    • Say It!

      Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

      … when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

      Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

      As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
