March 7th - 10th, 2011 - 87th through 90th Days

Writing my experiences every day was too hard, and my life is not exciting enough to fill up a paragraph a day!  This week has been fantastic, except for the fact my brother is trying to kill me!  After going on a 50 mile bike ride on Saturday, we went for a 30 mile one on Tuesday, a 30 mile one on Wednesday and a 20 mile one on Thursday, and plan on going on a 30 mile one today.  That's 160 miles in one week!  My legs hurt, my back hurts, and I feel like I'm 80 years old!  Why do I mention this?  Because it's harder to be nice to people when your sore, it really is.  However, I've done good so far, as least if you don't count getting frustrated at emails.  I had a customer send me a nasty email and I wanted to shoot back an even nastier one (believe me, he deserves it, he's grouchy!)  Anyway, I didn't send back a nasty one, but I wanted too!  So, even though my actions are still pretty nice, sometimes my heart is not, so I need to work on that.   So far, this has been a good experience.  Every time I start to get frustrated I think, "No, you need to be nice".  Of course, it makes it much easier when I have such a great wife and kids.  I got home from riding my bike last night and my wife and kids were working on the front yard.  Logan had just stepped in dog poop and you'd think he'd freak out, but he just said, "Oh man!  I just stepped in dog poop!"  He wiped it off and kept working.  My kids are really good little workers, it was fun to change my clothes and work for a few hours with them.  Then we went to In-n-Out and got a burger, so it was a good night, and everyone was nice.  How does life get much better than that!
