Still Here

Good Evening all,

I am surprised that people are still looking at my election blog.  Thank you all!!!  I will try to put something profound, profane, or just plain funny here soon.
Thanks
Tony

In retrospect

I just finished, finally, clearing out the last of the Emails from my campaign for the PUD Commission. 

Do I have any regrets?  Yes, I regret that I did not start my campaign sooner, that I let my commitment to making our community a better place take over. Oh, and by the way, I regret that I lost the election, in case you were wondering.

Did I learn anything from the experience?  Yes, that our community has changed in so many ways, that wanting to serve your community and having the relevant experience will no longer get you elected.  I approached it as if I were applying for a job, the perceived the process.  I see now that getting elected to a local office is now all about politics.  Rather sad, isn't it?!!

Anyway, I am older and, I hope, wiser from the experience.

Thanks again to those of you who voted for me and those who supported my campaign efforts.
Enjoy the rest of your week
Tony

Thougth for the day

We may not be as young as we once were, but we are as young now as we will ever be. Ponder that, seize the moment, do great things, do fun stuff, but do something!!!

Good Evening,
Another day has ended.  Did you invest this limited resource well?  Did you laugh, experience love, help someone, lift a spirit, share a smile?  Did you accomplish something on your bucket list?

Tomorrow you will have one less day to accomplish all you want to do in this life .  When you rise tomorrow, please keep this in mind as you put together your "to do" list.

A friend once asked me "if you had only one week to live, what would you do?'.  I answered him "say good-bye".  I asked him "what would you do if you had only one year to live?'  The list of things started coming.  We both realized that one week was really not long enough to make a difference but, with a year, the possibilities are endless. 

Please do not spend tomorrow as if you had an endless supply of tomorrows.

The Seahawks are the true winners

Coach Carroll praised his team, and even praised New England's Malcolm Butler's play, but never threw anyone under the bus.  He took the blame, took the hit, and, passed on the praise to his team.

If courage, grace, sportsmanship and honor would have decided the outcome of Sunday's game, the Hawks would be going to Disney World.

The Seattle Seahawks are a team we can be proud of, an example teamwork, self-sacrifice and determination, the way sports should be played and how life should be lived.

Fixing cloudy headlights with toothpaste???

I saw the video below and, yeah, right, like that would work.  Curiosity got the best of me and I tried it this morning.  I did two applications, didn’t spread it around first as in the video, but put a glob in the middle and spread it around with a clean rag.  Rinsed it off and, well, what can I say, it worked great, and cheap, my kind of fix.  This not only clears the headlights, it leaves them minty fresh.

The word of the day is   B E L I E V E

Coach Carroll believed, Russell Wilson believed, The Seahawks believed and the 12^th man believed.  When you truly believe, nothing is impossible. 

Believe in yourself and nothing is impossible!!!
