beautiful day

Saturday was picture perfect: good food and friends at Nebraska City's Apple Festival in the early part of the day. Then good music at Lincoln's still-rockin'-after-all-these-years Zoo Bar.

South Platte River at North Platte; June '09

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor, sleep without the aid of drugs
.....then, you are as good as a dog!
