Day 18 - Rain again

We were suppose to have a 6 hour power outage but it has been called off on account of the rain. I can only guess that all those baseball fans are giving a sigh of relief that the game isn't in the City today. TH told me that on his bucket list he wanted to see the Giants win the World Series. I personally think that is an odd item on the bucket list. But who am I to judge, on my bucket list I want to go to an Olympics.

I have found myself in awe around those who are top in there fields no matter what the field. With six billion going on seven billion people, to meet or be in the presence of one of the best in their field is humbling. With sports it is easy to judge those who at the top of their class, in other areas it isn't so easy to judge. But you know when you have seen a great movie or read a great book, it is almost universal.

I was cleaning my office yesterday and came across a letter my dad had written me. In it he says "The adventure lies in the process of (re)invention". How apt is that? I feel very lucky that I was raised by two unique and sometimes great individuals.
