A few randoms over the past week …

1) Please send some positive vibes and prayers the bro’s way (my brother and assistant) … he was injured in a freak accident yesterday. God was watching over him or it would be much much worse.

2) On the Olympics front … I wish people would quit hating on the fact that the weather isn’t cooperating as preferred for the Vancouver games. Seriously, the IOC and the candidate cities can’t predict what will happen 7+ years out. Chill already (yes, the pun is intended there). Congrats to Canada on their 1st gold medal on home soil (and won by someone truly worthy of it too) — and to the US for their 18 medals won already (as of last night).

3) Loved the snow that visited last week. Especially since it made for a LONG weekend to relax, catch up, and shoot sessions!

4) The gloves pictured in this post, love them. Now why couldn’t Team USA have something equally awesome … and affordable (feel free to check out the prices on the Ralph Lauren gear the USA athletes are wearing).

5) I will be tinkering with this site a bit this weekend. So please excuse any dust (aka wonkiness) that may appear if you’re not reading this via a feed reader or Facebook.

6) I’m thinking of taking up kickboxing. Anyone know of any affordable classes around this neck of the woods?

The quote of the week … in honor of the Olympics …

History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.
