| Monday's Thoughts |
Boy, did I rip you off on that last Free Prose Friday or what? Friday was a blur; and the next thing I knew, I was on an island in the middle of the French Broad River smacking bugs and eating hotdogs -- without chili.
On my way home today I was listening as Phil Williams and Mike Keith, the "Voice of the Titans," discuss Tiger Woods' win this weekend at the PGA Championship. Phil asked Mike if Tiger was the greatest athlete of all time. Mike Keith said that Woods couldn't be considered the greatest athlete because he doesn't play at the top of any other sport. In his opinion, Mr. Keith said that the honor of top athlete would have to go to Jim Thorpe (Bo Jackson was in his top ten). Jim Thorpe, according to Wikipedia (Link), won Olympic gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon, starred in college and professional football, played Major League Baseball and also had a career in basketball.
The discussion about the greatest and most best all-around athletes led me to think about Heather. Tonight she is at her new job as a preschool teacher where she is in charge of teaching two-year olds in the church's Mother's Day Out program. She is also a Cub Scout leader, a teacher's assistant, a babysitter, a mother of two boys, a family historian, a gofer and a wife to an ornery mule. And she does none of these jobs apathetically. She does well at all.
Tonight, I crown her our greatest "Action Figure Mom." |

I am calling for an official recount! I see alot of hanging chads here. My wife, M, was not even on the ballot, even though I had the 10,000 signatures necessary for her to run. Heather does a great job with all three of her boys as well as her niece :-) Oh, by the way, I would like a full refund for the poor showing on Friday.
