...drive faster


Hello. Can you keep the pace? Yes, you can. Technology, more and more demands on our time, surprises from the left and the right may make even the most stoic pause. Definitely pause, collect yourselves but keep driving. On this day in 1959, Lee Petty won the first Daytona 500. I was behind him, having had lost my way to class and almost passed him. Win some, lose some. Faster, faster! The fire is catching on in the fireplace and the skies are as grey as a goose. Ice is falling from the sky, but that is fine. Everyone will be alright. Take ten deep breaths, then answer. It is such a small part of our lives...and they can wait those ten breaths for your reply. Make peace, and keep the peace; especially our peace of mind.
