As the morning crew gets ready to part ways for the weekend we muse on the possibilities of fun that await our labor day crew party. A BYOB extravaganza at the farm is one option, or we could shuttle our veggie loving butts up to Maine to white water raft 9,000 CF of freshly released damn water. I am hoping I end up with my paddle chin deep in white water.
Poor Lance Armstrong got his 7 Tour De France Titles stripped away from him this week after refusing to fight doping allegations. His legacy may have taken a hit but it is good to hear his donations to his cancer research foundation, LiveStrong, have increased since his decision to stop fighting the courts ($78,000) donated in one day following the news of the controversy. And I am glad, proof that the attributes of a publicly recognized hero are more important to the psychology of the public than his illegitimate championships. We still love our heros even if we are reminded of them through bad press.
