It's More Than a Game

After being in and out for a few weeks, then enduring a flexiril state of mind due to moving furniture things should return to normal for a few days. Running in overdrive is the theme this week. When it rains, it pours, etc. The backlog that has developed must be overcome. It is cold this morning. Temperature is in the 20s, but by Thursday or Friday it may be in the 70s.

Recent conversation with a fellow tech turned to sports. I am not a huge sports fan. My Dad was a baseball/sports fanatic. My brother coaches a baseball team. He has one son that still knocks the ball out of the park. The oldest son now spends a lot of time on the golf course and is quite a duffer. Sorry, if Ole Miss isn't playing football (and they didn't play much last year) my interest is not sports.

All this said, my hat is off to Anne Abernathy, luge competitor in the Winter Olympics. She has suffered injuries that will keep her from competing in the games. This happened while training. What's amazing about this woman? A LOT is an understatement. She's 52 years young, the oldest woman to compete in the games for starters. She has overcome cancer and is just downright awe inspiring. Read further at NBC Olympics. And I worry about a sore back and the sniffles. Can we say wimpy?

That said, it's time to turn and burn! Have a casual Monday.
