Results

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of effort is the measure of the result.

Age

Should our age define our activities?

As I become older it seems my activities have changed. I'm still as active (I think) as I was in my younger days.

I am more observant of people older than myself. This gives me a possible view of what my activities might be later on in my advanced years. Now, I don't consider myself to be old, but it doesn't hurt to map out my later years.

I have observed people who are much older than I and could probably work and play longer than I could imagine. While others have become stagnate and are ready for the nursing home.

My belief is age is just a number. If you believe that someone should act their age than do so, but this is not what defines you. It is your attitude and how you see life. The drive that gets us out of bed every morning and having goals in life is the force that fights the number we call age.

State Fair

The State Fair is one of those places that I attend every year. The memories of my childhood on the midway rides to dating my wife.

This time of year reminds me that the fall season is approaching and the end of summer.

The Fair is a time to connect with the past when a work day might have consisted of working in the fields during harvest time. It also gives me a chance to learn about the future of farming.

I always look forward to the month of September.
