Quotes

  • Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
  • Education
    "Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
  • "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
  • Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. - Albert Camus
  • How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. Annie Dillard

Race Day

Saturday was a big day - it was Garrett's 14th birthday -

and the Peaks Island 5 Miler race day.  Silas ran the kids 1K, his first race ever.  He did a great job and is very proud of his medal.

Erik, Mark & I ran it for the second year in a row, and were joined by Bridget, Suzanne, Simon and Angela.  Levi & Sophia went along for the ride in their strollers.  Steve, Heidi and Garrett provided great team support.

It was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, the winding course around the island has fantastic views and the after-race lobster bake was a fun time.

Way to go Silas! You look speedy fast running in your first race. Congratulations to everyone else. Maybe next year Opa and I will come and watch you run. It would be fun to rent a place on Peaks Island for the week of the race, anyone interested?
