What a Terrible Experience!

I Was Drugged, Robbed and Left for Dead in Las Vegas and I Didn’t Even Get the Stupid T-Shirt

An Emotional Start to the Week...

From the brilliant and well-written mind of "Matt" on his "Must Be This Tall To Ride" blog, comes this heartbreaking story about the loss of his grandfather, who passed one week after his 85th birthday. Get the tissues - this one will likely make you shed a gallon of tears. The fact that he wrote this post the next day is commendable, to me. Here's the post with the odd title which will make sense after reading his words: I didnt know ponds and cigars could do that....

Editor's Note: Added the "Must Be This Tall To Ride" label. Will need to retroactively add to previous posts

Do What Matters

Just now, I read Do What Matters and I'm sitting in awe. I subscribed to the Must Be This Tall To Ride blog a week or so ago. The author is 34, divorced, and is an advertising copywriter. In other words, we are not in the same place on our life journey. He writes about love as something to cherish because love never fails. I find his writing style to be engaging and witty. The other day, he wrote about his son swearing at school and it was a funny post.

What is important to me? I answer, "My wife. My children. My Catholic faith."

Then I get into materialism.

My CDs / cassettes.
My journals.
My drums.

If I could write posts as interesting as what I've read at the Must Be This Tall To Ride blog on a regular basis, I would be happy.
