Sporty talk

I watched the Tour yesterday and actually didn’t do much else. My enthusiasm for work has remained spotty. Luckily, we are doing team building this morning, going out for lunch, and calling it a day. I should be home between 2 and 3, so I am in good shape in terms of packing. I did get up a bit early this morning and load the dishwasher and laundry.

I was reading an article yesterday in which NASCAR driver Greg Biffle spoke out rather strongly against that football player and dog fighting in general. He was a foundation which raises money for numerous animal charities, http://www.gregbifflefoundation.com/ If you are an animal lover, it seems like a very worthy organization. I’m glad when people use their fame to better the world we live in.

Speaking of which, I was very sad to hear about Wake Forest basketball coach Skip Prosser passing away. He spoke at a leadership conference my company had 3 years ago. He was a man that stood for hard work, education, and integrity. Never one to throw fits on the sideline, he was the kind of coach I’m sure his players remembered long after they left school and stopped playing ball other than in the driveway with the kids.

Only an hour left and I’m outta here! I dropped my car at the dealership this morning and my mom met me there and loaned me her VW. Hope they get it all squared away. I actually really enjoy road trips. And I haven’t cracked open the Harry Potter book yet, so I have that to look forward to tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Take care everyone!
