Mark,

All of this media input can drive you nuts. From time to time I re-read Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote on "It's Not the Critic that Counts" to help me navigate through this barage of media.

"It is not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled and fell, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood

Mark,

Great stuff. Having acsending Mt. Rainer is roped in climbing teams, I related to your rock climbing adventure. Climb on!

Phil- I am enjoying the blog. I'll let you know when I roll through Boise.

Phil, Good stuff. I like the John Wooden's definition as "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to becomethe best of which you are capable" This is part of Wooden's Pyramid of Success. Great reading.
