LIFE NUGGET
Curtis Martin, running back for the Patriots and the Jets was inducted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last night. I listened to his speech. It was moving and touching, but the line that stood out for me was about routine or committment.

What a great philosophy and way to live. Really be committed to what you are doing in your life.

GRATITUDE
I am grateful for the nice party we had last night with our family.
