The moral of the story was about passion, looking back that you did everything that you could to take care of your family. I know this related to the game of football but you do wonder, these guys get paid millions of dollars to play a game that they love, yet why do so many of these players not treasure the opportunity they are given?
Bringing this to a life lesson to our level, for those of you that know me, know that I am beyond passionate about pretty much everything I do. If you are a reader of my blog it is probably self evident I hope that resonates through the sports I play, the fan that I am and the things that I do. I simply strive to do all that I can do with what is given to me.
Many of my close friends often wonder why I do as much as I do in my life. Part of the answer is a wife with a firm swift constant kick in the rear for this year of the horse. =) I constantly juggle at least 3 things in my life and of late as many as 5 things at once. I must tell you that I am passionate about each of my endeavors and if I am not I find something else to do. Whether it is in each project that I manage, getting a home for my clients, my schooling efforts, my badminton games or my family, it is that passion that drives me each day. Keep in mind that it isn't number of things that defines you, but that you are doing everything in your means today to make the most and enjoy this life that will quickly pass you by. For multi-taskers like me many interests come to mind, but for you it may be just a few things that you have always wanted to do in your life. Why sit their dreaming about those things? Go out and get after it!
At the end of the day nothing matters in life other than being able to look yourself in the mirror and that you are satisfied with no regrets all that you wanted to be and do in life. What is life without passion? I say that life would be just a half *** effort and that would be a waste of this wonderful gift of life.

great insights Alan. Brycen and I only wished we can do as much as you do...ok I take that back, I only wished Brycen can do as much as you do! Hahahaaa. On a serious note, I agree with your points on being passionate about the things you do (or else don't even bother) and about life!
Oh Flea, no you are married to a brain and I could only wish to have half the smarts of your man. You guys are doing fine and living the dream in HK! Awesome!
You don't want this gun A+ on looks but jams all the time. I am returning it.
You just like to keep yourself busy, that's all!
