Hey...where have you been

Have you taken the time to appreciate where you are right now lately?

It is hard. Great Depression, Bailout, I approve this message, the seahawks suck, the huskies suck, the cougars suck worse, the mariners suck, the sonics move to Oklahoma, for crying out loud the climbers are worse than the rest combined. So what.

It has been absolutely beautiful here. I can't remember a time when the fall colors have been as nice. Maybe this is the first time that tried to appreciate it.

You know what has been a lot of fun...I have been coaching 9 and 10 year old football. It is so cool to watch the boys (and 2 girls) learn this game. They are having success working together. I think that we have finally gotten through to them that if everyone just take care of the own business and doesn't worry about the person next to them, the whole team functions better. I am not one to try and draw too many parallels between sport and life, but that one really seems to take hold with me. Take care of your business, and trust that the one next to you is going to take care of theirs. But most of all...let them take care of their own business.

Sorry that I blog random thoughts, but that is about as long as my attention span is.

I haven't been on for a while.

Back soon,

AC
