I\'ve been out and about the past few weeks. The race was a lot of fun. I was taken out by in the second round of eliminations by a bro from Mississippi. In the first round, we were neck and neck, then a big head-wind came. I was never so happy to be a burly skater. My mass carried me through quicker than my skinny opponent. LOL Here\'s a shot my iwfe got from the top of the hill. I\'m on the left.
All in all it was a fun day and I learned a LOT about pulling double duty about throwing a race, main-taining the timer, making rule decisions all while racing. Fun times. My next race is July 15. After traveling and visiting with family the past week (and mixng all that home-cooked southern fried food with a lot of fast-food from the road), I need to get back into exericising and practicing if I\'m to do as well in that as I\'d like. :-)
About the neighbor: After considering the advice on the forum and speaking with my spiritual father about it, I decided to just consider the source and not actively approach him with the issues, but (as friendly as possible), speak up when he \"starts up.\" It just so happened, he \"started up\" when he saw me drinking a beer while grilling out in my backyard. We discussed the wedding at Cana (He turned the water into wine, not wine into water) and Psalm 104 (wine which gladdens the heart of man and oil to make his face shine). He at first tried to tell me that Christ turned the water into wine, then back to water, but my wife and I looked at him like he had lobsters crawling out of his ears (it\'s kind of hard to get me speechless, but I had no clue how to even react to that statement LOL) and he recanted. We agreed to disagree and that I need to quit smoking cigarettes, then he went back home. I told him if he wanted a beer or some salmon (which I was grilling), to stop back by. He didn\'t. I also found Numbers 12 to use when he discusses race issues (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers 12;&version=48;).
