In slow motion, you really get an idea at how violent that accident was… Thoughts going out to Ryan Newman and his family. pic.twitter.com/d2Sg2PgxbV

So glad to reveal this secret. She has ridden many many miles having outgrown her current bike. She’s the one child who works for her alone time with me, her father. I don’t know who was more excited, Talon or Daddy?

Thanks to everyone at Elite Cycling and especially Marcelo and Debbie. Today was a special.

Thank you Lord for the day that you provided.

This is my Father’s Day gift. A set of silverware. An odd gift for Dad you might say but you see we have a strange metric to measure our success as a married man and woman with five children. In other words, a God made, natural family.

When Yané and I decided to marry we chose this set to place on our registry. My sister Donna and her husband Joseph delivered the goods. We have enjoyed countless meals with our original set.

Over the years, as we’ve added to our quiver and they learned to clean up after meals, many pieces were accidentally thrown into the trash and delivered to Mt. Trashmore. It’s become one of those inside jokes you share with your spouse alone.

We measure our marriage’s success by how many lost pieces of our original set of silverware have been lost as we build up the next generation.

Man and woman marry. Children follow. Husband and wife, Mommy and Daddy, sons and daughters with a sprinkle of twins. We are intact, not broken just as the Lord intends. Tonight we all eat with the same silverware once again.

Another clean sheet. Another Mo Salah goal. It was business as usual as the Reds dispatched Fulham on a fine autumn day at Anfield.

The first half saw Liverpool create multiple chances while they enjoyed the majority of possession. Fulham seemed determined to keep it close against a potent Liverpool side. Their efforts were nearly rewarded when it appeared that Fulham’s Mitrovic had netted his side a goal. The play was ruled offside. During the ensuing debate between the Fulham players and the referee the Liverpool keeper, Alisson, played the ball up to Alenander-Arnold who spotted a breaking Salah on the right wing and delivered a perfect pass. Goal! Liverpool 1-0

After the break, Shaquiri scored at the Kop end from a beautifully placed cross for Robertson. Liverpool 2-0. This removed any fight the Fulham players may have still possessed. The remaining thirty plus minutes played out like a training session.

Liverpool finished the day with another clean sheet. Since the signing of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson the Reds’ have become a formidable force defensively. We expect nothing less than a solid performance from our back five against a struggling side like Fulham.

It was a very business-like performance from the Liverpool side looking to stake its claim to the top of the table. It is hard to find fault in a comfortable win, but Winaldum seemed a bit out of sorts in the midfield today. Bobby Firmino played in a more traditional ten role than his usual false nine and seemed absent from much of the game. Klopp continues to tinker with his lineups and tactical formations a luxury not afforded in seasons past. All in all, it was a good day for Liverpool.

The Reds head into the international break in a tight points race for the top spot before returning to action later this month away to Watford.

The iMac has died. This comes a couple weeks following the logic board failure to the PPC Power Mac Pro….or whatever.

The Chromebook and the Nexus 5 are the champs now. I guess that I will have to pull all of the drives from the dead machines.

At Home Music is going where it has never gone before, into print media advertising. It doesn’t have to because its CL strategy has changed fast as lightning as a lead has come in. That is where print fails. It is slow to grab people. It can be slow to change.

Change. I am waking up just before 05:00 but I choose to lie in bed and gently wake.

The bike and squats challenge continues. It’s hard but it’s easy. Bible reading is about routine as coffee in the morning. We are in the season of Lent so I have picked up my reading.

Talon is about to lose her first tooth and I am not ready. Her baby smile is about to be set to ruin. I don’t think Kendall likes the idea that their paths are diverging. Twins are a whole different experience and we are blessed to be stewards of a pair.

My studying is proceeding in a disciplined manner. I still need to find that next gear though. It’s close, I can feel it.

Well the weekend is here and I’m checking out for now.

The strawberry jam gently boils in the water bath canner, so there isn’t long.

Up again today at 05:00 without an alarm. Yikes. The behavior changes are taking hold I believe. All of the changes I initially want to institute are regular enough that they have made available a capacity to step towards the next step.

Studying for the Real Estate exam is well under the way. I decided to sign up for thirty more days of the course and use that as a study guide. Doing so, I have come across the things that tripped me up in the course final. I feel good about my preparation plan.

The gardening is progressing with about half of the exotics removed from around the Ficus aurea. My neighbor, Larry, is such an ignorant retired fellow. He told me I should take a chain saw to it all and when I told him what I was doing he said “It’s just a chocker”. What? This is a native, like that oak in your yard.

The jam needs me so I’m out!

Another day is almost in the books. My sleep shifting is clearly moving me in the right direction. This morning I awoke at 05:00. My alarm was set for 05:30. I was probably anxious about the new stove arriving and the work needed to get it in the house. We have too much stuff.

It felt a bit strange cooking inside. I almost felt lost; like a stranger in a strange land.

The studying for my exam is taking root. I went over Escrow accounts today and while doing so came across something that tripped me up during the course final. It’s not doing it again.

I’m cutting this short because I am so tired; an effect of the sleep cycle.
