The thing always happens that you
really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. - Frank Lloyd

All this rain last night and today... oh, well, gives me a chance to get caught up on some stuff. Hopefully it will clear off and we can get our century in tomorrow.
Well, I was very pleasantly surprised earlier this week... my trademark request for "Do It Like It Means Something...Because It Does!" was approved by the US Trademark and Patent Office! This is exciting to me. Now I really want to get this non-profit going...guess I should figure out exactly what it is I want us to do, huh?
It has only taken 53 years, but I think I might actually be focusing in a more defined direction. I have to admit, though... if you had asked me about something like this even a couple of years ago, I would have said "there are plenty of other folks out there to do this..."
But for the next couple of weeks, I also need to focus on my part of the Austin Tri Camp. This is exciting to me, too, in that it looks like we can bring these military veteran-athletes into Austin, and give back to them in a way that benefits them going forward. There is still a lot to get done, but I am very hopeful we can deliver. Some of the food arrangements have been taken care of, more volunteers are stepping up, and we may even have some great publicity options coming forward. We will have the roundtable at Cool River, which is a great venue for this - food is good, and the space is very conducive to interaction between our athletes and the coaches/pros putting on the event.
Okay, time to go to the gym... stay safe, people!
