Fall Vacation....

Each and every year it's this time to celebrate a little time called fall vacation... A week free from school for my kids, the bballers and for those of us 'normal' working folks who choose or have the time free and every time it works out, it's always nice. I have always enjoyed the fall days, the changing colors of the trees, the different colors of the times of day, here in the north we have some pretty good sunrises during the fall and winter months, the cool crisp air and the few lucky days with an indian summer about it...

Played golf with my man Rikard the other day, we just got in the front nine at Oppegaard and it was fun, well, getting beat 3 and 2 is never fun but we did have a good walk and talk... Rikard played 3 under and I played well, do we have to talk about it?? Hehe maybe 4 over or something... The putting and short game was awful, but from tee to green it was ok... Fun it was and thanks my man for getting me out there... it took a few, or should I say a few dozen phone calls, but thanks for keeping up the telephoner's dudester...

Giving my bballers the week off in a sense, we have open gyms during all practice times this week and for those players who really wanted to get in some individual work at the same time being able to get a good run in... stay in shape and all the good stuff... Third season with my oldest team, they are getting to be 17 and 18 years old now... many 17 year olds and some 16'ers... will be a good season for all of them, a great learning experience and one that will be a spring board until they turn 21. My youngest team is a group I have had my eyes on the last two seasons and it's more than my pleasure to take them under my wing from the coach they had, a good guy who has done his absolute best... Looking forward to seeing what happens with the core group of this team during this season and the ones to follow....

Ya ya ya.. gotta run, but this is a thought for all, and this time I mean it Peace - Love - Goodness to the world  will always rule in the end, always has been always will be...

Being with...

Being with... What does this entail? How much of being with is a good thing and how much is a possible bad thing? I cannot understand parents that can't seem to understand what it means to have the chance to be with and take every minute for what it is, precious.... Have heard of the situation where the one parent always does one thing that always affects the being with if the other... I can't understand this way of thinking, does it not matter the feelings of the one sitting and waiting? The one who in many ways does not have a choice but to be with under the circumstances given by another... is this moral or not?  How to deal with another's inability to see this clear and with compassion for all is beyond me in so many ways....

Babbling I know but, this is something I have thought alot about the past day's and have been struggling to see the light through the dark thoughts I have for people like this, or I should say the kind of people who are like this, or even the people who just don't know better or don't really give a damn... It's all about being with... 100% and doing ones best to give love, peace, harmony, direction, caring and all the other goodness that comes with really being with... always. Is it easy?? I think so, but if one works at it maybe one can improve and even change things for the better and become more with, being with...

Gotta go for now, I have to go and be with for real... ;-)
