Spectators

Ok. I just had the awesome experience of watching a sporting even with another couple. I highly recommend taking another couple with you to your favorite events. I do not care if it is NASCAR, plays, musicals, soccer or what ever. It was totally entertaining watching someone else enjoy the experience that sometimes I take for granted. Watching them cheer, stand up, high five strangers and completely immerse themselves into the game reminded me of how exciting these things can be. It is especially cool when you take people to high level events. I can remember when my day used to take us to Hill Auditorium to listen to the University of Michigan student orchestra play. No they weren't professionals (yet) but darn were they good. Plus, I can not play any instrument so how would I know if they weren't any good. I had a great time and it opened my eyes to a different cultural experience. Do it. Take someone to something different. Maybe not something that is different for you but something that is different for them. And when you do it... sit back and observe their reactions. Watch their joy. Watch them experience what you may have taken for granted. It will refresh your experience and increase your enjoyment.

I'm Back!!!

To all of you who have read my blog in the past, I apologize. I forgot my sign-in and password and could not get into my blog. Thankfully, my wife came to the rescue and showed me how to 1) find my sign-in but also 2) helped reset my password to something I might actually remember. YEA!
Here is an update for all of you. I have move the whole family up to Michigan. It was a tough decision but with Gustav and Hanna threating the Gulf state... I'm very happy with it. Later I will give you some play-by-play from the months leading up to the move. Actually I will try to give you a summary of each month of 2008. It has been very wild for us and it will give me the chance to catch up my blog.
