Get Fit
Getting in another walk today, training for my 5k.  My mom's assisted living is 1.5 miles from here so I can walk there, visit and walk home - waalah!  3 mile walk.


Get Faith
Proverbs 22:1  "A good name is more desirable than great riches;  to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."  Ok, I think the best name to be esteemed is God - or Jesus - or Spirit.  I guess they are referring to us being good people who, when mentioned are mentioned in good ways.


On this day
1981 - I flew in from Chicago after and an amazing long weekend of Offshore boat racing and friends.   It is so anti-climatic to return home after 5 or 6 days of huge activity, very much like our recent trip to Scotland.  I am still recovering from that.


1880 - George Ligowsky was granted a patent for his device that threw clay pigeons for trapshooters.   Hey Don is this guy by any chance a relative?


Parenting
I love this from Gods  Little Devotional Book "The family tree is worth bragging about if it has consistently produced good timber, and not just nuts."  We have all of that in both sides of my family history.  The Scottish side is documented but the German side is only alluded to.  Who do you have in your family - skeleton in the closet?


Book Club
The Other Irish by Karen McCarthy.  not much reading time this weekend, hope to get back to it!  Great read!
