Champs

The Wilton High School Warriors Field Hockey team has just won their second consecutive State Championship.

This time last year, they had just won their first of two back-to-back State Championships.

Why the redundancy?  Because this time last year, a group of people were putting the final touches on a secret plan to take over the Youth Division of the Wilton Field Hockey Association.

I wonder what they’re planning now?

Five Seconds, Five Years

1. If you have to think about whether something you’re about to do is right for more than 5 seconds, IT ISN’T.

2. Is that thing you’re obsessing about now going to be important to you in 5 years?  Chances are, IT WON’T.

Tomorrow, November 6, 2012, is Election Day.  I am voting for the presidential candidate who just happens to belong to the party that is NOT making any attempts whatsoever to prohibit, hinder or otherwise obstruct anyone’s exercising their right to vote.

The Last Hole

I recently lost some weight.  About 25 pounds of adipose fat. This is a good thing.  It’s so good, in fact, that I have this belt that I’ve worn pretty much every day for a decade, and I had to drill an extra hole in it – to make it TIGHTER!

To assure myself that I’m keeping the weight off, I check every morning when I buckle my belt that I’m using that last hole.  This morning, I realized that in order to see the buckle, the hole, and the belt itself, I was actually having to manually lift my belly fat out of the way.  Salad anyone?
