Weekend Refuge

What does a perfect weekend look like? Here's a start:

Agenda: Nothing
Destination: Up North on a lake somewhere
Supplies:
Golf clubs, guitars, fishing poles
Food: Eggs, sausage, hash browns , 2 large pizzas, 3 cases of beer, and a bottle of vodka (green olives too)

Although that was pretty much what the list consisted of, it really came down to the four other people I was with...my dad and 3 brothers that made this trip the beginning of many more to come!



Our journey began with a simple idea...start a family "man's" tradition! Little did we know this idea landed the 5 of us at this beautiful cabin (thanks to the Jon and Michele)


We took in a peaceful game of golf (for the record I think Dad won)...

...and then moved to the campfire for many more hours,








but not before a dusk kayak around the placid Lake Mary.


Although this trip came and went quickly, the tradition we have started has served as the catalyst for trips to come. Our agenda was "nothing", but for good reason. For some of us it was a time to reflect, reconnect, release, or just relax. Whatever the reason was for each of us, it only left one question in my mind as I sit here today; "where is next year's location going to be?"

Olympic Winner


There is no way I can overlook the athletisim and determination of Michael Phelps. Not only dis he break records by acheiving 8 gold medals, but he crushed world time records and his competition in almost every race. Amazingly awesome and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person!

Olympic Whiner

Certainly the Olympics bring out the greatest competition, but it also brings out the biggest losers too...thanks to Sweden's Ara Abrahamian. As a representative of your country that is certainly not putting your best foot forward, of course Spain's basketball team flubbed that too.

Favre Saga Comes to an End

Well not exactly an end, but it seems to be making headway. Favre is in Green Bay right now and that is enough for a lot of people. Funny I think I called this though when he retired back in March???

There is no way I can do justice to this topic like my cousin Jeff so I will simply direct you to his website Passion=Truth. For S & G check out how many articles he has devoted to Favre...there is no bigger fan than Jeffrey!
