“Life is a game of inches. So is football. In either game the margin of error is small. One half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it.

But the inches we need are everywhere around us. In every minute of our lives. We have to go for every inch. Because we know that when we add up those inches, that will make the difference between winning and losing.

And I know that if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willing to go for that inch.

And that’s what living is. The six inches in front of your face.

Now what are you gonna do?”

Savor the Flavor

It’s more than fine
To save a wine
For a very Special Day

But it’s just as grand
To change the plan
And pop the cork for Tuesday

I urge you to work to remember them. Covet your time away from work. I know your business can consume both you and your time, so please keep it your highest priority to take time both for yourself and together with Mary creating a new life together.

Like everything pertaining to life, life itself is a labor. We have to work at it and shape it to what we want it to be; play god if you will.
