My son came home last night with a tattoo on his forearm. I had mixed reactions but to tell you the truth, I did'nt mind at all.
I was more worried about thequality of workmanship and the effect it might have when he tries to find a job.
I admire him for being brave enough to be himself. Unlike me, I made sure my tattoos could not be seen when I wore business clothes to play safe just in case.
It shows that he wants to be himself and I wish all the best for him in the future.
The fruit definitely does not fall far from the tree.
I'll post a picture of it soon.

Bring it On!
I has been a while since I've posted anything here. The last post according to blogger was April 14 where I wasn't in a good mood.
The feeling was described in one word "numb". Well things have not changed much but my attitude towards problems has changed a lot. Although I have not forgotten what had happened in the past, I have done what I could and things are starting to shape up.
I did what I could focusing more on what can be done rather than cry over spilled milk so to speak.
Now I am excercising more with the goal of finishing a beginner's triathlon 15 days from now, and a sprint triahtlon a month from now.
It is a joy to be able to swim well for almost an hour and be able to bike simoultaneously. This morning I biked and ran, and the other day I did 2 becnhmark work outs one long swim, and a long run.
While I am at it, I have this big smile on my face especially when I am in the last 2 or 3 laps in my swim, or my last kilometer in my run. For biking, there is always a big smile on my face as biking is and has always been an exhilirating experience particlularly when you are riding in a group.
Well, there is no turning back and I hope all the tips I have gathered will pay off come race day. I am excited and anxious about all this. I am tired of the daily training routine leaving me 2 days of rest a week, and I am wondering why by belly has grown bigger the past 2 weeks that I have been at the peak of my training plan.
The bottom line is I am living a dream and my wife and kids are behind me in all this.
Life is short so I have decided to just go for it.
I definitely will tell you about it soon. Meantime, I rest tomorrow and hit the trails again with my buddies.
The coming weeks will be harder in terms of intensity, distance, and time.
