Personal

In a fight recently, I wrote down a list of needs. The boat had done sailed by time these were written down but I left them on my fridge (along with what Nick did bad mind you) to remind myself. Then again I said this 3 years ago too. Who knows but I wanted to post them and have this to search back for also. Together – We do things together, we hold the same line together, we exist together Communication – Can you hear me now? Less Cursing – Yarr Matey I don’t be wantin to date a sailor Yarrr On-Time – Cell Phones, Google Calendar, Watches, no reason to be late for stuff Clean Home – Sexist and old school? Nope! This is how I feel loved Push me to Christ – Last thing I need in my spiritual walk is a boat anchor, sometimes you can’t help but carry but other times I need a swift kick in the butt Stop Caring for the World – Who gives 2 craps and a cookie what so-and-so down the road thinks? Be here when I get home – Nothing worse than traveling for 2 weeks and someone not be home when you pull up Respect “Our” Decisions – There is a good chance I didn’t want to do something, but it is OUR Decision. “Hold the line!” as they say in battle Plan with me – If you want to be with me, be with me. That means telling your team what the plan is Share the good/bad – I don’t live in a fairy tale, neither should you. Life sucks sometimes but let me be there with you when it does Tell me about your feelings despite my load – Yep, I am a busy guy and have a lot on my plate. That doesn’t mean hiding it from me. My one escape is the “us” stuff and I live to be a superman Catholic Family – My family will attend mass and love the sacraments. All of us, all of the time Stay at Home Wife – Oh geez another being sexist! Nope! Our kids deserve the best the world can offer and the best is their Mom. The greatest job is a Mom.

I ran my hand through the water on the banks of the pond that day. As I sat under the golden crisp light beaming down on me, I knew the time was not for decision making but rather reaction. Just as my hand ran through the water and out my fingers as it pulled from the wake, so too are you my Love. No matter how many hours I sit on the banks of the soggy pond, the water will forever slip. I find myself wondering if there is any hope for my fingers to hold on to what is so obviously wishing to flow away…will the water turn into the dirt I could once grip onto? ...

I have been out of the loop the past few days and I wanted to let everyone know I was okay. I decided on 15th Saturday I decided to take advantage of the unusually warm December weather. It was 65 and dry. The rain was suppose to be coming that night and I quickly jumped on the RC51. I took my usual ride down through Ruth Mountain road and had a great rhythm. The corners were carving well and the bike was running quick. I had my fun and decided to turn around and head home before the rain hit. As I hit the last corner before a little creek I saw a glimpse of gravel. I slowed down and got ready to take the turn. What I didn’t realize was that the gravel I saw was totally spewed across the whole width. It wasn’t just a patch. I began pumping the breaks slightly and sure enough, my back wheel locked and I started to loose control. I saw the farm field in front of me and thought of just riding into the field. Just as I got the bike straight the front wheel slipped on some gravel. That was the last straw and I decided to go airborne. I flipped off the bars and ate the concrete. The bike twirled on by missing me by a few inches. That was that. I blacked out and woke to a group of people standing above me. I tried a few times to walk and get up but kept falling over blacking out. Some amazing people stopped and helped me out, a young guy took me to the ER and the rest is history. ...

VS I am back to short hair and love the feeling of not wearing a hat all day. Sheesh!
