Rafting Pictures Are In!

The pictures have arrived from our group rafting outing at work. We ran the Zoar Gap on the Deerfield River in Northern Mass on September 8th, 2004. The picture here is the one and only class 3 rapid that we encountered. We had a great day despite a bit of clouds and rain. I can testify that the water was COLD!! If you want to check out the Zoar Outdoor web page you can find them at: http://www.zoaroutdoor.com/deerfieldriverrafting.htm The best part of the trip was that we were so far out of civilization that there were was no cell phone coverage all day. It was really funny to here everyone's voicemails start coming in as soon as we neared North Adams, MA, which is where we stayed.

This is a picture of my raft. We had three rafts total on the river that day. I may post some more of these later if time permits.

Cycling

Cycling has been going well recently. My goal is to ride 500 miles before the end of the year and it looks like that should happen in the next week of so. I didn't really get serious about riding this summer til June or so. I track my miles at http://www.bikejournal.com Its a great resource to track miles, rides, etc. You also post information about the bikes you ride. I ride three (a new Gary Fisher Marlin mountain bike, a EZ Racers recumbent tandem, and an old Trek 1100 that I bought in 1990). Legs are feeling good right now, and it appears that my achilles problems are gone (atleast for now!).

Amanda And Brittany

Here are two of our favorite girls. Our daughter Amanda holding Brittany (an Italian Greyhound).

Back From Vail

We survived the annual leader's meeting in Beaver Creek/Vail Colorado. The weather was cold (20's at night). Was glad to be home where the weather was in the 80's. Here are a couple of pics from Beaver Creek. The first is a shot behind the hotel where there were a bunch of retail shops, etc. The other is a shot taken from the chair lift heading to Spruce Saddle.

Where's The Oxygen???

I am at our companies annual meeting in Beaver Creek, Colorado (altitude around 10,000 ft). It's beautiful here (the image you see is taken from my room. The golden trees are Aspens) but there is no oxygen. Ran up a flight of stairs and was gasping for breath! Guess I won't be riding the exercise bike tonight. Wish the family was here!!! Miss you guys!! Will be here all week...leaving Friday.

Grace Like Rain

One of the most important relationships in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ. It is Jesus that gives me hope, focuses me on what is important, and gives my life purpose. The saving grace of Jesus Christ is the best present that anyone could ask for.

Here are the lyrics from a new song (kind of a remake of Amazing Grace) by Todd Agnew that I think sums up the Grace issue. All you need to do is believe in Him, repent of your sin, and ask Him into your heart and he will be your savior. It's great to stand in the rain!


Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see so clearly

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing Your praise Than when we first begun

We Meet Rick Nash

Here is a pic of my son Nick (on right) having a helmet signed by Columbus Bluejacket's winger Rick Nash. This signing was held for PSL holders at Nationwide Arena. Rick is my son's favorite player. This is probably as much of Rick as we will see this year depending on how the NHL labor issue is settled!

OSU Game

Thought I'd show you a view from my seat at the Shoe...Gate 25, Section AA, Row 8. This was the OSU vs. Cincinnati game on 9/4/04...
