I happened across the blog of a certain, 60 year old angry white police officer in California and he said that he was gripping "his freedom". And I thought to myself "this is so sad that certain people are having such a hard time with who the president is now. "I personally think he is superior to his precursor, but history will make the ultimate judgement on that. Like or dislike Obama, really, how much power does he really have? As Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2) said , there is "No fate but what we make".
I'd like to show you all a picture of my freedom:
Instead of a Smith and Wesson snub nosed .38. mine is a pair of Atomic Metron3 skis.
How many magical places that they have transpoted me to. Like this 2.5 mile run in Bristol Mountain, NY.
Or to this magical place in Colorado along the Continental Divide...
Or amongst the "Land of the Giants" at Aropahoe Basin...
Or maybe it's just at the local ski hill with my son, who is growing up to be twice the man I ever was, when school was cancelled because it was 25 degrees below zero...
Yes, there are those who will hate and sow discontent. Hopefully, there are many, many more like myself who love and appreciate the wonderful gift that living in this place and time offers us. I have so much to be thankful for in this holiday season. God bless us all!
