A wake up call…

My exercise miles over the past year…

Like George Bush, I was too early to report ‘Mission Accomplished‘ back in September. By not being mindful around stretching before vigorous walking and biking I learned earlier this month that I actually tore my meniscus. Today, I’m having arthroscopic surgery to try to correct the excesses in time to take advantage of the warm weather to bike again. Apparently Aesop was right; “slow and steady” wins the race — especially as I approach my 55th year. Lesson learned?

GW Bush at Flight 93 Memorial: “Evil Is Real, So Is Courage”

On 9-11, “The most lives lost on American soil on a single day since the Battle of Antietam.”

“One of the lessons of 9-11 is that evil is real and so is courage.”

“At the moment American democracy was under attack our citizens defied their captors by holding a vote. The choice they made would cost them their lives. And they knew it. Many passengers called their loved ones to say good-bye. Then hung up to perform their final act.”

“The Flight 93 heroes led the first counter attack in the WAR ON TERROR.”

“The temptation of isolation is deadly wrong.”
