Friday Night Fun

Friday night Augie, Jen, Luke, and I headed to the Mucky Duck to see Radney Foster. It was an awesome show. I always forget how much I like live music until I go see it again. Radney is an awesome songwriter who has written many songs you would recognize as ones that others have recorded. Some of them are:
Just Call Me Lonesome - Dwight Yokam
Sure Fine Way to Start - Sarah Evans
Raining on Sunday - Keith Urban
Godspeed - Dixie Chicks

Shows like his take me away to a little fantasy world where nothing is wrong. Everything is perfect there. People you love will love you back, no one will ever break your heart. Anything is possible in this little world, and happiness is in abundance. The short time I spend in that little world is a bit euphoric and is almost a breath of fresh air. It is always sad when you have to walk out the door, as the show is over, and the real world is waiting for you right outside. Sometimes though I do get to take a little bit of that world (even if just a smile) back to the real world with me and I like that.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
