I've done a lot of "boring" posts lately.

Mascotting... skating times, etc. I should at least take the time to post something more "meaningful". This was not prompted in any way by 9/11, at least not consciously. Life is good in so many ways, I can't express how grateful I am to have been blessed with good friends, family, and surroundings. I think too often I take that for granted and in times like these realize how much of a blessing that is in the world we live in these days. Kids are great. They progress and grow so fast, and yet time slows down when you are with them. My son will likely grow up to be a rocket scientist that breakdances and my daughter, a researcher, she has so much focus on things at such a young age. I have a fantastic wife, who is always supportive and with whom I can grow with through experiences and have meaningful deep discussions with. Despite some other family health problems, it has been a very good summer, with time spent together, where it matters most.
I have some long time friends coming in over the next few weeks for events, it is so interesting to me that we've all taken dramatically different paths, yet our friendship remains as solid as ever and time and distance have not changed a thing. I'm really looking forward to spending more quality time with them and family here in the coming weeks/months...
