Maiden Voyage

First and foremost, This weekend will be about finishing my sons pinewood derby car. I know, it sounds easy, but it is a much tougher task than one would think. The dilemma I have is that he needs to have a hand in the creation, but I (selfish rant) want it to be competitive. So do I let him "create" and be dissapointed when it finishes last? Am i presuming that he cares? After watching the test run and his reaction, it is hard for me as a father to let it slide. He will build it and I will secretly make sure it is a competitor.










Next on the agenda is transformation. I know it sounds "Grand", but anything can be accomplished if the mind is actively engaged.

Do I want this:


or this:


I would like them both, but for completely different reasons. For now, the latter will be the goal. It is a lofty goal and seemingly insurmountable, only accomplished by hard work and isolation from everything else on the planet. It is a beautiful day here in Colorado, dreams aside, there always seems like much to do and little time to do it. I think I'll go for a ride.

Treating myself to the world,
