Team Camp

Well the Team Camp has been over for a couple of days now.  I have to admit it was a lot of fun and I think this is a great group of kids with a lot of talent Nathan has put together. I have been sick for the last 2 weeks but  Austin R. tells me "you make to many excuses" I guess I have to "man up" I guess its time to start getting ready.

We got the new kits and they look great.  It seems like everyone on the team is a national champion of some sort, except for little Will and myself. 

Peter is riding freakishly strong and I'm sure he will upgrade to a Category 2 within the next 2 months. 

I'm excited about Valley of the Sun stage race this weekend.  It will be a tough race. 

I know I'm suppose to write a TRUE story about my work and what i had to deal with last night.  Nothing different from any other night, we got our arse handed in a silver platter all night.  

True story - 

Pt- I'm having chest pain

Medics - can you discribe it?

Pt- It hurts

Medics -Do you have a medical history

Pt- No

Medics - ok, do you take any medicines for anything?

Pt - Yes

Medics - for what?

Pt- for the pain in my heart

Medics - do you know what the pills you take are for?

Pt- yes for the pain in my heart

Medics- What kind of Cardiac History do you have?

Pt- what is that?

Medics - ok, are you allergic to any medicines?

Pt- No

Medics- I'm going to give you Nitro and Aspirin for your chest pain that you say you are having.

Pt - I'm allergic to Aspirin

Medic - Ma'am, how old are you?

Pt- 28

Medics- does  "heart disease" run in your family?

Pt- Yes

Medics- what kind?

Pt- the one that gives pain to your heart

I will end it there and just take her to the closest hospital

Until next time

Valley of the Sun departure - Thursday morning.

Obama is the future!!!

The future

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes We Can

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionistst as they blazed a trail toward freedom

Yes We Can

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

                                                                
Yes We Can

It was the call of workers who organised; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose a moon as our frontier; anda King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land

       

Yes We Can to Justice and Equality

Yes We Can to Opportunity and Prosperity

Yes We Can to Opportunity and Prosperity

Yes We Can Heal this Nation

Yes We Can Repair this World

                                                                    
Yes We Can

                                                                      
Si Se Puede

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics... they will only grow louder and more dissonant...... 

We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything falsee about hope

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillonn are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; tha we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the Amercian story with THREE words that will ring from Coast to Coast; from Sea to Shinning Sea;

                             YES - WE - CAN

 

Barack Obama
