Go Jump In A Lake

So what did you do to celebrate the first day of the new year?

Nurse a hangover?

Watch some football?

Sit around the house in your jammies?

Or did you get together with some very cool people and do something totally insane?

Guess which one I did...

36° water temp... Shrinkage was a real concern.  But afterward we went back to the Price's castle and had some hot soup and talked about next year's plunge.

Will you be there?

Memorial Day

“Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.” - General Orders No.11, Grand Army of the Republic Headquarters, May 5, 1868

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

While we are enjoying a day off, grilling out, and a cold beer, let us all take a moment to remember those who sacrificed so that we can enjoy this day in peace.

My Chains Are Gone

I got my second tattoo yesterday from Kevin Combs at Old Street Tattoo

Rusty chains - chains that kept me prisoned

But my chains are now broken.

I have been set free

Until Lambs Become Lions

Nick, Kelly, and I went and saw Robin Hood Sunday. Good flick, it's basically telling the story of how Robin Longstride became Robin Hood.

When Robin is returning Robert Loxley's sword home to Loxley's father, he sees the phrase "Rise and rise again until lambs become lions." on the hilt of the sword. That phrase led to Robin taking up his father’s cause for justice and freedom. A rallying cry for a mission - to never give up no matter how many tries it takes.

Never give up. Keep fighting. Rise up, mighty warriors.



What are you fighting for?
