Finishing...

Backstage passes...

Unique opportunities...

...and first pitches.

Wherever you are, be all there.

My bike fits in the back of my car (since my bike rack is too big)...

Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.
~ H. Jackson Brown Jr
