To celebrate making my goal of 3500 miles for the year, I took my camera and got some great shots. The light of the low sun angle is beautiful at this time of the year, but this shot is from a series that was so exciting it would raise the hair on your neck if you were there. Today was like that, everything seemed like it wanted to help me celebrate my day.

 Love him or hate him, Mark Cuban can be an interesting guy on the right day.

If you can read this blog by Mark Cuban and not get chicken skin, you're a better person than me. This is about the absolute thrill of competition, of business, of challenging oneself to go for the gusto. It is one of the best reads I have come across in a while.

HER DIARY

 
 
Tonight I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to 
have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.
 
Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we 
could talk. He agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong; he said nothing. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
