Dear loved ones...for the beauty of the earth

I woke up this morning way to early, 6-IN THE MORNING!! I really thought that I would leave sailor hours behind. The difference between waking up naturally without dolphins phsshing and breathing next to my boat is kind of nice, no waves coming onto my bed, hmm, a couple of plusses.

I woke up to early after two amazing and real dreams, the last one I was in my old high school football uniform, seeing things from my normal vantage point (the bench) and hoping that my special teams would be called upon. The game was being played on a massive cruise ship that had its top turned into a stadium. Beside the cruise ship was a river, much like the one in the NY that Pat and I spent so many days on. But in the stands and on the boat were people that meant so much to me, how lucky I can be to dream of friends!!

I woke up this morning determined to write about them. I suppose I have lived some good times, some adventures and stories and what not, I think we all have. I am not stories, Im just a guy, and so this journal is for the people out there, the ones whose dreams we live and share...

By all means a non inclusive list, first Id like to thank God and the academy...
