a stroll trough the woods

ever just take a walk into the woods and actually look around? i mean really look around and see whats out there? lately the family and i have gone hiking. actually the past three weekends we have. i really enjoy the outdoor walks through the woods and the fresh air. the only thing i am regretting is that i am not taking the time to really see whats out there. most of the time i am walking with my head down looking a few feet in front of me. before you ask why, let me explain. one, it's difficult to navigate the trails we have taken without some forward glancing at the path ahead or you will trip and fall a few hundred feet off the side of the trail. second, i tend to walk fast and there for i stay behind the slower people to make sure i dont leave the pack. if i keep my head up, i tend to get close and kick their heals and such. this habit of mine tends to inhibit my being able to really see whats out there. dont get me wrong, i still very much enjoy my hiking with my family. just that maybe one day i will go by myself and take my time to see whats out there.

been a long time

work has finally slowed down enough for me to post a few comments here and there.

one of the most talked about items today is the south carolina win over florida in football. i am a carolina fan, tho i never attended the university. but by growing up in the capital city of south carolina and the university residing in the same town, it's hard to not be a fan. with that win the ap pols ranked us 19. that's a pretty generous ranking from bing unranked prior to that game. that's the kiss of death for all previous sc football teams. once ranked, we never lived up to that potential. hopefully this year will be different. new coach, new attitude, new style of players and playing. time will tale.
