The dog, the boys and I all had a great deep sleep last night. Dianne Glynn on the other hand was a little freaked out over the large earthquake.

The Slight Edge - Point #2 - Knowing what to do is not the same as doing it - what's keeping you from taking a small step to do what you know you should? All it takes is 20 seconds of courage!

A reminder from The Slight Edge - Little Things Matter - small choices, small changes in effort, simple actions consistently done over time - all lead to an edge that will leave your competition in the dust - go out there and embrace the consistency!!

Got an email from Comcast saying they were doubling my internet speed for free. Went from 50 Mbps to 80Mbs. Should I complain :). People may hate their customer service, but download speeds are unbelievable.

Cracks

There is a crack, a crack in everything.

That's how light gets in.

Leonard Cohen "Anthem"

Heroes

Real-life heroes walk among us.

Do Not Let Your Fire Go Out

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours." -Ayn Rand

Good in the World

FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam.

SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?
SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

The Rider

Meyrueis, Lozense, June 26, 1977. Hot and overcast. I take my gear out of the car and put my bike together. Tourists and locals are watching from sidewalk cafes. Non-racers. The emptiness of those lives shocks me.
