Momentum...it just keeps rolling. Sometimes that is a beautiful thing sometimes not....
The weekend was wonderful. Kevin, the dog and I did 7.34 miles (the .34 was very significant to Kevin ;) through the San Felasco preserve. The tree hammock was nice coverage from the heat but it was still pretty muggy and ticky. Sunday we hit Devil's Millhopper, which is a great sink hole that has an almost waterfall like setting and a step system that is about a tenth of a mile down (and back up.) At the top is a great 1/2 mile dirt path that encircles the sink. A LOT of people use it as a training place running the stair and the path in circuits and so did we. We did not count on the dog quitting on us but she got to the point where she simply would not budge another step unless it was in the direction of the car.
It was great to be able to keep that momentum rolling.
Sadly, other things have their own momentum. My staff keeps me ever exposed to the "next generation." The same generation my daughter is a part of and the sadness of it is not lost on me. I don't want to make this blog a political platform but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the world is changing fast. With the "up and coming" generation in charge I cannot help but fear for exactly where that momentum will stop and what will be left in its wake. I am truly fearful for the future, for what will become of them and what will be left of them. They are simply unprepared....for anything. I have never seen a group of people so completely unaware of the world around them. They are spoon fed a vision of the world that is so "generated" for their entertainment they cannot cope with reality. Even sadder, they aren't sure what reality REALLY is.
Enough ranting. My reality tonight consists of exciting things like laundry and paperwork.
