We are having amazingly BEAUTIFUL weather the past few days.  It's the middle of November and it's 80 degrees outside..cloudless, blue...blue sky and complete calm.  It's a shame to be at a desk and miss it all.

...another death in our community.  This time a 23 year old handicap boy who touched the lives of many, many people.  In spite of his handicap, he was an extremely high achiever in his life.  He was attending college working towards a degree, he had started a yard cleaning company, and was just beginning here at the local school as a safety officer.  For being handicap, he had dreams and he pushed himself to achieve them.  He loved everyone.  He made so many friends that his death is a loss to the community.   I value his life and example.  :)

Today is also the birthday of my grandfather on my mother's side who died 20 years ago this past August.
