presents
Lexi got me a helmet and belay gloves. My son always supplies me with my favorite perfume. My eldest daughter got me a CD Walkman. My best gift was having them all together on Christmas day in light of the fact that it was my best friend's first Christmas without her only child who was murdered in February, and without her father whom she had buried on the 23rd.
A wonderful example for us all; she spent Christmas Eve handing out coats and blankets to the homeless in Louisville. At 11:30 she drove around Louisville until she found a gas station open and bought candy for some children at a shelter who were looking at empty stockings the next morning. After filling the bags with candy, she rocked a 13 day-old baby and let its mother sleep for a while. Bo's life was cut too short at 18, but not many children get to have a mother like Sherry.

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

I didn't get anything good. The strangest gift I received came from my mother. You ever seen that informercial that has this thing that looks like an elongated salad tong called, "The Grabber"? Well, that's what my mom got me. I'm 5'10 for cryin' out loud, she's the short one. I'd appreciate a little damned thought next time. That fifteen bucks could've gone toward a bouldering pad.
