Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

* Sharks Win Opener!


The 2011-2012 season is underway. Nice start by the boys in Teal.


I'm stoked Michal Handzus is now a Shark. He has always played tough against San Jose.

The Couture/Clowe/Havlat? line will be fun to watch.


All photos pull from the Sharks web-site.

* West Dry Creek Road Cycling


I took a bike ride out to the Dry Creek Valley this morning to see how the fall foliage was coming along. Not a lot of color happening yet, but the smell of grape harvest was in the air.

I treated the to/back as a work out, but rode part of West Dry Creek Road at a leisurely pace, taking pictures, enjoying the crisp morning and brilliant blue skies.

Total Miles: 27.5

Waiting for harvest on Dutcher Creek Road.
