Here, for your considerations ... some stuff I know for sure is true.

• Sometimes, having a DQ Blizzard for lunch is the wisest choice you can make.


• I have many, many facets, and when one of them doesn't shine, I'm still a gem.

• After a good workout, going down a twisty water slide is the ultimate reward.


• It's not about the run, or the time. It's about finishing, vertical, and having fun along the way.


• Conversely, if it's not your day and you can't finish, it's about being wise enough to call and end to it and go to the nearest St. Arbucks.


• There are relatives, and there is family. Some of them intertwine, but you don't have to be related to be family.

• Birthday parties are wasted on children. As we age, every year is a gift. I'm totally playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey this year.
