Black Friday
Yes, I went shopping in Boise, Id with my sister and kids. Black Friday wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. Did alot of Christmas shopping, even wrapped them and left them their so I don't have to send them later. My boys race this weekend also. Gary ended up 4th in the main. Tommy didn't do so well. It must have been the rocket fuel....

Enjoy the Coffee
I thought that this had some meaning to it:
A group of alumni, highly established in their career, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversations soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cup; porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in had the lecturer said: " If you noticed all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourself, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."
Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money, and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, but the quality of life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentration only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.
So please don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead

Photo Shoot
I wish fall wouldn't have snuck up on us so fast. It seems like the frost came so early and kinda ruined our leaves. I usually enjoy them longer. I had some of my friends and their family come to Greenough Park and I took some pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.
