Today, I've been easy like Sunday morning.
Yesterday was an awesome day. Josh had a fantastic 800m race that was courageous, inspiring, and just down right fast. His coaches (and Mom and Dad) were thrilled. He overcame some adversity before the race and put it all behind him to show some real mental toughness. Spenny boy and his band, The WhiteWall Gentlemen' won the Nashville region contest of College Battle of the Bands and will play now at the Hard Rock Cafe on April 12th to advance to another playing culminating in Los Angeles. They also finished their new EP (that's the equivalent of a record for us old folks).
And today? Well today I am resting. It's a wonderful sunny, 83 degree day and I am taking a Sunday ride out in the country with my better half. Sometimes it just feels good to take a break and get away.
I have some blogs that are in an edit phase and waiting for "posting", so visit me again tomorrow for a new blog.
See you tomorrow.

Congrats to Josh and "Spenny boy"! Two very noteworthy accomplishments! It's so fun to enjoy your kids' victories and it's excruciating watching them struggle at times, but all in all worth it. But there's nothing like grandkids!
