GRAB THE MOMENT WHEN YOU CAN
Life offers all kinds of opportunities to do silly things. We have always revelled in such. Why? Because the study of history engraved four words into our memory bank. Words expressed by Teddy Roosevelt when he considered his life. “Get Action, Do Things!” No deep philosophy here but if I had to memorize something from his life then those four words seemed good and we, as a family, have tried to follow that advice.
Hence the picture below.

P.S. I have no admiration for Teddy Roosevelt really. Why? Because of his terrible fascination with guns and the shooting of wild animals. Killing things is not my idea of ‘action’. Making the most out of life…now that is action that hurts no one. And that is why those four words are so important to us.
Below is a picture we had taken by a fun photographer on Centre Island when the boys were young and so photogenic. We had a lot of fun posing for this picture. If you ever get such a chance, grab the opportunity.
