In Charge
Scotty and Luke are both out of town this week on a New Year's ski boarding tip, so guess who is planning this week's Mischief workout....you got it, ME! I have been really itching to do some heavy lifting lately, just to see what I can do. Today I braved the cold to get to the gym to do some preparation for Friday. Janae and I met and found our one rep max on each of the 3 major lifts (dead lift, squats, and bench press). Gonna do an old fashioned (as Kevin would say) meathead workout. Everything is based on percentages of our max. It is gonna be fun!!

That Time of Year
Christmas is over and New Year's Eve is on the horizon. As always, I tend to be reflective during this time. I count my blessings, look at the hurtles I have overcome, pack some things away, and set my sights on the year ahead. As always, my biggest blessings are the people I have in my life. I am honored and humbled so much by them. The love, encouragement, laughter, tears they freely give/share with me makes me rich beyond all my comprehension.
This year has brought some family back into my life. My oldest brother, Delbert and I had drifted apart over the years, but have now drifted back together. I look forward to rebuilding that relationship. Stephen (my other brother) and his family and I have been separated by distance. We have been making efforts to stay in touch over the past year. They have always been there, but it seems we are reaching out to each other more.
My circle of friends always seems to be in a state of flux. There are the old friends (Erik, Robbin, Shelley...) that have been in my life solid for a very long time. There are the new friends (Luke, Scotty, Janae, Christi, Hannah...) that I am continuing to build deeper and deeper friendships with. Then there are the friendships that due to the flow of life, I find that I'm packing up and putting away in a special corner of my heart, friends I may or may not ever see again.
I lay my roots in this rich soil, dig in deep and with that foundation, reach for the stars. Thank you all for the part you play in my journey. I share each victory with you because none of it would be possible without you.

Latest Mischief
People tend to come and go in The Mischief, so periodically we have to do new group pictures. This is currently my favorite.
