Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.

More From Dr. George Sheehan

We were not created to be spectators. Not made to be onlookers. Not born to be bystanders. You and I cannot view life as a theatergoer would, pleased or displeased by what unfolds. You, as well as I, are producer, playwright, and actor, making, creating, and living the drama on stage. Life must be lived. Acted out. The play we are in is our own.

- Dr. George Sheehan from "Running and Being; The Total Experience" -

Best And Worst

Charles Dickens wrote, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I think Charles must have been a New England sports fan.

First we have the Red Sox. They are a cinch to make the playoffs, they're closing in on the fading Rays for the division title, and they are a real threat to win another World Series.

Then we have the Patriots. What a disasterous beginning. Talk about a Tale Of Two Cities. We lose the best quarterback in the game, and the Jets find their missing link, 69 year old Brett Fav-re.

Let's look on the bright side, Matt Cassell has more NFL experience replacing Brady than Brady had replacing Drew Bledsoe. Is Matt Cassell the next Tom Brady? Can lightning strike twice?

The Blog Is Back

The Capehiker has returned from a much needed vacation. The blog has been redesigned to make it it easier to read. I hope everyone likes it.

The summer is over. The Melody Tent season is over. It's time to enjoy a great New England autumn, and get ready for winter.

We had a nice trip along the Maine coast, and then through the Western Maine mountains into New Hampshire. We spent a few days with our friends in Ossippee, New Hampshire, and enjoyed a nice visit with Kenny and Megan at Saint Anselm College in Manchester.

Even though we enjoy traveling, it always feels good to get home to Cape Cod.
