“This is the beginning of a new day
Life has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I’m exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever leaving in its place something I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not lost, good, not evil; success, not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it.”

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein
“Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.” John Lennon
“The highest happiness of man is to probe what is knowable and to quietly revere what is unknowable.” Von Goethe
Feeling inspired tonight.
It’s evolution, baby.
During class the other day, our professor was discussing how elegantly the human heart is “designed” to take on some serious engineering dilemmas:
Dr. Hogan: …Mother Nature’s figured out a pretty clever solution…
Brian: Yea, because she takes her time.
Listening to a few creationists on the radio “discuss” evolution today got my heart beating a little too fast, and reminded me to post this. Well said, Brian.

Transition area after race. Except for putting shoe on wrong foot, breaking sunglasses, and heading for wrong exit, things went ok.
Survived.
