today was day 3 at the speedway…forty four students raising funds working the trams. here is a few pics to highlight our day…we laughed, worked and ate sunflower seeds!
only in america…this is what an overbeveraged and extremely unhappy race fan declared before boarding a tram…it seems he thought he had a better plan than speedway-go figure! everyone seems to have an opinion about everything, but do they have all the information necessary to validate their highly expressed opinions…probably not!
opinions are important if you honestly have one that makes a difference. i love it when people choose to offer their opinion for things that they really don’t have a lot of information about. we live in such a me centered society that whenever people don’t like the way things are being managed, they feel obligated or empowered to offer their opinion! the world would be a better place if their were less chiefs and more indians-thats what my dad would always say.
james says be quick to listen and slow to speak…when you are slow to speak it gives you time to try to understand…so wisdom for today-overbeveraged race fans don’t have an opinion, they gave that up when they chose to lose their mind. wisdom-comes when you seek first to understand before you speak!
all day today i looked forward to tonight. yesterday was valentines’ day and i gave my wife a great bottle of perfume…great buy for anyone you love. my wife surprised me with a great gift…but i took it back to get something similar-is there anything wrong with that? nahhhh she had bought it and we were watching celebrity apprentice and a commercial came on and i commented i would just love that…and she replied really…i had no idea what she bought. these last few days have been a blur of planning and fundraising.
so tonight we went to our favorite restaurant in st. augustine. i had a seafood dish empanadas and the 1905 salad. we love the columbia restaurant. if you like great cuban food…you will like this place. we walked around the city with a cup of starbucks and then headed home. tomorrow is gonna be a long day at the track with 40+ students raising some serious dough!
what’s love got to do with it…everything!
love will take you to the ends of the earth just to hang out with someone!
happy valentine’s day!
