Ye-haw

      Claire and I just singed out lease for our apartment.  We'll be at 122nd and Kelly.  It's awesome cause it's right by the Kilpatrick Turnpike and Broadway Extension.  We had a wedding shower today.  It's cool getting all new stuff including Battleship.  
      Starbucks is rollin' along in our little recession.  My store made 5 teams, consisting of partners at our 36th and May store.  These teams will compete in Average ticket sales, Promo item sales, and other things.  Out teams are:

Cosmic Leopard
Valkyrie's War Cry
Flaming Tower of Piety
Phoenix Wisdom
Interstellar Dreaming

      Ya, I had a lot of influence on them, but I think it will be fun.  Life continues to move a little faster.  In the midst of days when I feel like I didn't get anything done, but worked on everything, when I feel like my output is lazy but I worked my hardest, when I can't reach unreachable goals, I have to remember to be the best Colt at everything I do.  When you know something good is coming, sometimes I tend to put less quality in my current day-to-day events.  This is not acceptable.  It's my duty to be the best I can in all my endeavors everyday; even when repetition frustrates you and says that one effort stroke less is still good enough, kill the messenger with his lie and continue to press on until your rest.  I give my best because I have been given the ability to do so with my new life in Christ.  Christ brings freshness to infinitely repeated dullness, energy to my stumbling, and meaning to the ignored.  The apostle Paul, from the bible wrote a letter to a church he was friends with and he told them this: "Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come."

You continue to be an inspiration to me Colt. I was trying to pick which team name was yours, is it the interstellar one? That was my first thought.

Be the best Colt you can be, do it for Dad!
