One of Timothy's favorite quotes is:"- "Let your mind dwell on examples of honor" Cicero, Tuscan disputations -Live Your Life “So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” ~ Chief Tecumseh -“I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a firefighter The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the firefighter has to do believe that his is a noble calling. But, above all; our proudest endeavor is to save lives of men-the work of God Himself. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even at the supreme sacrifice. Such considerations may not strike the average mind, but they are sufficient to fill to the limit our ambition in life and to make us serve the general purpose of human society.” Chief Edward F. Croker FDNY -“Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.” Chief Edward F. Croker FDNY -“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error a...Expand for more
nd shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt -"I believe that all good deeds of men will never fall." Ray Kennedy -Tis impossible to know the end of this days business before it comes. But it's enough that the day will end, and then the end be known. And if we meet again, then we'll smile. And if not, then this parting was well made. Unknown -"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict..., the more glorious the triumph..." -Thomas Paine, The American Crisis (1776) -"Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor. Oliver Wendell Holmes" -“You can’t handle the truth! Son we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s going to do it you, you Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury, you have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago’s death while tragic probably saved lives and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to you saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties you want me on that wall; you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty; we use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man that rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner of how I provide it. I would rather you said thank you and just went on your way, otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post either way I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!” Col Nathan R Jessep - A Few Good Men -Not for fame or reward Not for place or for rank Not lured by ambition Or goaded by necessity But in simple Obedience to duty As they understood it These men suffered all Sacrificed all Dared all-and died Randolph Harrison McKim -We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother, Be he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves acursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks, that fought with us upon St. Crispin's day! From King Henry V; William Shakespeare -The funny thing about firemen, night and day they are always firemen. Ronald Bartel".

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;

Look who won.
Quite a bit of vitriol on the news and social media the last couple of days. 
Somebody might need a Snickers bar and I'm not talking about the very gracious Cleveland fans.

Houston Astro’s fans know exactly how this feels. Congratulations to the World Champion Houston Astros.
Found this shopping today, has anyone tried the mystery flavor yet?
Possibly the first known example of using a hyphen without dividing Americans. 
Big shout out to Terry the wel-hung American!
Funny!

Do you ever wonder if you're reaching your kids? I know I do. 
So when I told AIDAN that "GuardiansOfTheGalaxy"
"AwsomeMixVol2" was one of the best soundtracks ever, I thought it went in one ear and out the other.
