I got a race story for you, that might have a parallel to your life woes... Ok, 1987 I started racing motorcycles at Sears Point now called Infineon Race Way. http://www.infineonraceway.com/ I was doing well over a hundred mph down the back stretch and all of a sudden, I got tank-slapping-speed-wobbles, both my hands and arms were thrown away from the bars, and got a big crotch full of motorcycle tank as the bike abruptly decelerated beneath me. Guess what, I did not die. In fact when I quit putting input into the system, it miraculously fixed itself. I was able to swallow my racing heart, and grab the bars gently just in time to get set up for the next corner. Phew! Now whenever someone has a life challenging problem, I tell them this story. Sometimes it is best to let go of the reigns. Best of luck Proud Papa, Hex |

Oh my I am getting old! This child looks 13 years old to me! Tell him we appreciate his service more than he'll ever know. Same to your son 2008xb12scg. |

Hex -Sometimes it is best to let go of the reigns. That is by far the most prophetic post I've seen. Thanks. I released the reigns earlier today....... |

Mindi - This child looks 13 years old to me! He's cursed with his father's baby face....but it's only a curse until he hits about 40 |

Daughter choose US warrior two years ago. She practiced in ROTC four years in public high-school. Youngest of three girls. I gape in awe among her peers at visits & events: they ARE young. |
