Gibbous Moon – more than first quarter and less than full
Harvest Moon - Not so long ago, before electric lights, farmers
relied on moonlight to harvest autumn crops. With everything ripening at once,
there was too much work to to do to stop at sundown. A bright full moon—a
"Harvest Moon"—allowed work to continue into the night. Harvest
Moon
Blue Moon – There are three explanations: 1) The second full
Moon in a calendar month is called a "Blue Moon, 2) The very earliest uses
of the term were remarkably like saying the Moon is made of green cheese. Both
were obvious absurdities, about which there could be no doubt, and 3) The Moon
actually appears blue in the sky. When the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded
in 1883, its dust turned sunsets green and the Moon blue all around the world
for the best part of two years. Blue

“Soft Addictions” Judith
Miller: “The average person she's met on her speaking and research travels
spends $15,000 a year on his or her soft addictions”
Soft additions are, for example: :shopping, coffee,
daydreaming, constantly checking your finances, biting your nails, television,
etc
Five most-chronicled "hard" addictions:
alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling and eating disorders
An executive cannot gradually
dismiss details. Business is made up of
details and I notice that the chief executive who dismisses them is quite
likely to dismiss his business. Success
is the sum of detail. It might perhaps
be pleasing to imagine oneself beyond detail and engaged only in great things,
but as I have often observed, if one tends only to great things and lets the
little things pass the great things become little; that is, the business
shrinks. It is not possible for an
executive to hold himself aloof from anything.
No business, no matter what its size, can be called safe until it has
been forced to learn economy and rigidly to measure values of men and
materials. Harvey S. Firestone
If you want to fail, follow
these rules: Worry, hurry, eat too much, let your emotions run wild, and spend
your days in idleness.
Everything you see or work
with can be improved. You have
opportunities. If you want to get ahead
in this life, nobody can stop you except yourself.
Money vs Success - “After you
reach a certain point, money becomes unimportant. What matters is success.” Aristotle Onassis
The importance of a dollar -
“I have money to last me the rest of my life . . . unless I buy something.”
Jackie Mason
Why employees don’t work to
full capacity. 25% of workers say they could be 50% more work. Why don’t they:
1) Not being involved in decision making, 2) The lack of a reward for good
performance, 3) No opportunity for advancement, 4) Lack of supervision, and 5)
Inadequate training. From Compensation & Benefits Review, American
Management Association
Some people think B-school is
mostly about networking and playing golf. – That’s just a lot of bunk. I’m convinced there is such an important body
of knowledge that we call management.
It’s founded in the social sciences, economics – how markets function,
how firms behave, how you make money or lose money, how people Function both
individually and in groups and teams. An
M.B.A. gives you a way of thinking.

Litwinowiez Says (Exclusively
- Right Here on the Drinkard Homepage) “I’ve
been down so long it looks like up to me”
First Things First – Original
ideas come from reassembling knowledge in new ways. But you need to have that knowledge in your
mind before you can reassemble it.
Whatever your dream is,
you’ve got to chase it. It doesn’t
matter if you’re new at it or even if you’re scared of doing it – you’ll think
of something.
Time is measured by the
seasons, but life is measured in dreams, memories, and love.
Old Irish Prayer
Take time to work – it is the
price of success.
Take time to think - it is
the source of power.
Take time to play – it is the
secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read – it is the
foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly – it
is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream – it is
hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to love and be
loved – it is the privilege of the Gods.
Take time to look around –
the day is too short to be selfish.
Take time to laugh – it is
the music of the soul.
Sometimes having a positive
attitude is as simple as wearing a genuine, heartfelt smile.

She practices in a pool more than four hours a day, which doesn’t leave
much time for being a teenager. Asked if
she likes music, she says, “Not really.” Movies? “Not really.” Dating? Don’t

If I may quote Woodstock –
“It’s a new dawn” The following taken
from the New York Times article, The New Tastemakers, Sept. 3, 2006
“At Pandora.com visitors are invited to enter
the name of their favorite artist or song and to get in return a stream of
music with similar “DNA,” in effect a private Internet radio station
microtailored to each user’s tastes.
Pandora’s innovation is to focus on the formal elements of songs, rather
than their popular appeal.” (and I will add – the promotional, self interest of
the record companies)
Other
customizable Internet radio services: Last.fm, Yahoo’s Launchcast and
RealNetworks’ Rhapsody are pointing users to music far beyond the playlists
that confine most FM radio broadcasts.
“The
tools for programming are in the hands of consumers.” (Thank you)
“A song that
hasn’t ever gotten played on terrestrial radio is going to get played as soon
as a No. 1 hit song.”
“New
generations of wireless Internet-connected devices will vault the Web’s
customized radio services into places where broadcast radio is still dominant:
in cars for example. “All of a sudden the competition for your ear will change
dramatically,” Mr. Westergren said. “The FM station then has to compete with a
personalized service that you’ve crafted for yourself. That’s a watershed
moment.” (I can’t wait!)

Tarzan only laughed, and in

The men stood silent for some moments, and then slowly turned and walked

that he swung once more through the forest branches. This was life. How he loved it. Excerpt from Tarzan of the Apes

Beach Friday to Saturday August 4 – 12, 2006
Beach Log 2006
If you have something to add or pictures to post, email them to me: d rinkard
@ charter .net (leave the spaces out)
Day 1 Saturday – The Drinkard’s and Paw Paw and Maw Maw spent the night in Charlotte Friday. Arrived at Cherry Grove at 2:00 pm Saturday, we chanced to get behind the Gores at ? and followed them in. Staying at the same house as last year, the Cassie at 4010 Ocean Blvd N. 3:00 pm, lunch/dinner at the Duffy Street Seafood Shack. Evening activities: walks on the beach, evening TV (bull riding). Weather windy and hazy, ocean was rough.
Day 2 Sunday – Up at 5:30 am for morning run and pick up a paper, overcast all day, light rain started around 11:00, continued until 2:00, David and I went to the Flea Market, “Steel Bass” was the catch of the day and Joe Namath paperback, the “Market” isn’t what it used to be, three buildings burned down (struck by lighting) and they are being rebuilt. The Lost Diamond Incident - When the girls where at the Flea Market earlier today, Nancy lost the diamond from her ring, Maw Maw’s sharp eye found it in the gravel, pine needles, garbage, cigarette butts, etc as well as under the edge of the mat at the entrance to the Dog Tag, Maw Maw Saved the Day - It’s a Miracle. Beach activities: reading, Frisbee, and horseshoes. Umbrella Incident - David’s beach umbrella disappeared from the beach. Ryan, Mandy, and Taylor arrived around 8:00. The Gores, Drinkards and Maw Maw - diner at the Sea Merchant was excellent, great steaks and kiev chicken, the leftovers were brought home to Paw Paw. 9:00 pm spending the evening peeling apples getting ready for Maw Maw’s breakfast and watching the first pre-season pro football game of the season Oakland and Philadelphia.
Day 3 Monday – Up late 7:00 am, no run, Maw Maw’s breakfast of biscuits, gravy, and fried apples. The Cinnamon Incident - don’t suggest that cinnamon would have made the apples better. A full day at the beach for everyone, no one sunburned yet, beach activities - Frisbee, horseshoes, rafts, water aerobics: Margie, Nancy, (and I hate to say it) Martha (“Churn that water”, “Make it churn”). The Gores, Drinkards, Ryan and Mandy dinner at Nakato Japaneses Steakhouse (It’s all about the salad dressing). “I like your new face cream Nancy! “It went on soooo smooth.” Did you find that at the Flea Market?
Day 4 Tuesday – Up at 5:45 am, run to the pier medium tempo, back, fast tempo. Cheryl’s monkey bread, fruit, grits, canned biscuits for brunch. Great breakfast! Picture Link.
Jiggled Door Knob Incident – David: I did not do it. Ryan: no smoking gun. Jim: don’t need a preponderance of evidence, do you have an alibi. Ryan: Dad’s full of it. Jim: let’s recreate the scene. David: it was a weird coincidence; Would I rattle the door just to make the dog bark? Ryan: (payback) I will turn the dog loose on you (Writers comment: the dog is 8” high – a real Killer!). Ryan: I can’t say Dad did it for sure. Bill: We need to bring Wanda to the stand to testify. Comment: potential mistrial - we suspect Ryan of coaching a witness (Mandy). David: Lyndsay it was maybe you. Lyndsay: I did take a shit at two o’clock. Jim: But the evidence is gone now. David: I may have been drying my butt (here is the visual-he stands and demonstrates the butt wiggle with an imaginary towel) and bumped the door handle. You decide.
Despite the Jiggled Door Knob Incident, the days highlight is David getting Wanda in the ocean up to her head, beyond the breakers. This is big – Wanda has never been in the ocean above her angles! Her next move – water aerobics with the Girls!
Nancy Quote: “I will not be putting on makeup tonight.”
Dinner Plans: 5:30 pm White Point, Lyndsay is off to the Pelican's baseball game with J.C., the Whites (Jr. and David clan) and Maw Maw are headed to the K & W Cafeteria, and the Whites (Ryan clan) are off to the Australian Grill. 7:15 pm White Point is gone, ate at Bennett’s, all you can eat, Dylan and Jim ate 6 clusters of snow crabs each (1½ clusters per pound).
Day 5 Wednesday - Up at 5:30 am, “pitch black,” light drizzle starting around 6:00 turns into a good rain for about 15 minutes, make a pot of fresh ground Columbia coffee, got a paper at Beurelos, run on the beach, intervals to the pier 5X (600M one-way): 1. up/back warm-up, 2. 2:11, back 3:30, 1 min rest, 2. 2:16, back 2:58, 1 min rest, 3. 2:13, back 3:01, 1 min rest, 4. 2:13, back 3:06. 9:00am Ocean calm this morning, hazy, no breeze, sun’s bright. 10:00

Nancy panics, she gets very excited, she thanks someone has jumped in front of her, who was it that snuck in front of her -- Nancy: when you read this - it was your very own son who turned the water on and locked a door– Jarron!
Ryan, Mandy, and Taylor left at 4:00 pm, Ryan had to go to work tonight at 11:00 pm.
Dinner at Tony’s at Calabash, NC for the Gore’s and Drinkard’s, Nancy wants to be reminded not to get the lasagna. Dinner at Hodgeskins for the White Jr’s and Maw Maw, dinner brought home for Paw Paw.
Evening activities: we fixed 14 clusters, 10.55 lbs @ $6.95 per lb, of Alaskan snow crabs from Eugene Platts, they were tenderer and tastier than what we have had in restaurants. Bowl of Crab Parts

Martha: “These are the best crabs I’ve ever had?”
Grandpa: (on the phone with Margie, Grandpa is babysitting “Little Houdini” a.k.a. Georgie) “She’s peed twice and shit once.”
The setup - after the crabs have been eaten: Uncle Bill: “Tums!, Tums!, Tums!, anyone.”
Nancy: “Jim will want one” (Jim doesn’t want a tum) Nancy: “Well you always get on at home.” Jim: “Well I always eat your cooking!”
Day 6 Thursday – Up at 5:25 am, light drizzle again this morning, dawn light shows up around 6:00am, off to Boulineau’s for a newspaper.
Breakfast: Oats, bacon, and buttered toast. Lyndsay: “The toast is burnt (Lyndsay eats her oats by putting a spoonful on her toast).” Maw Maw: “This toast is ok.” Lyndsay: “It’s the oats.” . . . . Martha goes out to Boulineau’s for more oats - try again – the oats on the bottom of the pan were burnt.

Three ingredients of
contentment: 1. something to do, 2. someone to love, 3. something to hope for.
If I could wish for life to
be perfect, it would be tempting but I would have to decline, for life would no
longer teach me anything. Dad
Out on the road today/I saw a Deadhead sticker on a
Cadillac/A little voice inside my head/Said ‘don’t look back, you can never
look back.’
—
Don Henley, “Boys of Summer”
Wichita's Jim Ryun led the
pack as the first high schooler to run a sub four minute mile in 1964. Two years earlier his best mile time was
5:38.
The fountain of content must
spring up in the mind; and he who has so little knowledge of human nature as to
see happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life
in fruitless efforts, and multiply the grief’s which he proposes to remove.
Learn to be pleased with
everything; with Wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others;
with Poverty, for not having much to care for; and with Obscurity,
for being unenvied.
Weekend July 29 – 30, 2006
Everyone is Enthusiastic at
times. One man has enthusiasm for 30
minutes – another has it for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years
who makes a success in life.
We seldom think of what we
have but always of what we lack.
If you never tell your body
it’s old, there’s no way it will suspect.
Whoso would be a man would be
a nonconformist. Emerson
A wise man makes his own
decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion. Chinese Proverb
You’re never beaten unless
you give up. You may have a fresh start
at any moment you choose.
One of these days is none of
these days
? if you did the
things that you are capable of doing, you would literally astound yourself.
I race, not to win or lose,
but to discover courage – Pre
John Wayne once said courage
is being scared to death . . . and saddling up anyway.
Will it matter when I am old
and gray that I beat Medusa or ran a PR at a given race? Or will the self-discovery, that running and
racing has allowed me mean more? As the
great George Sheehan said, “I running, I feel free. I have not other goal, no other reward. The running is it’s own reason for
being. And I run with no threat of
failure. In fact, with no threat of
success.”
Look to this day, for it is
life, the very life of life. For
yesterday is gone and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes of every yesterday
a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a dream of hope. Ancient Prayer
Peacefulness, Self-control,
Austerity, Purity, Tolerance, Honesty, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Religiousness,
these are the qualities of the righteous.
AGE: it should be a license,
not a limitation.
People who have not faith in
themselves seldom have faith in others.
My Three Sons – The 18-time
Grand Slam singles champ and poster girl for femininity in sports is raising a
testosterone-laden trio of skateboarding, paintballing boys. She keeps up her tennis, works out and does
yoga. Not coincidentally, she could pass
for a decade younger than her 51 years.

bearing gifts... If you have been invited to dinner, never arrive late. Chances
are the hostess is preparing a first course risotto or pasta and neither one
can wait to be eaten. You should arrive
with a gift - a bottle of excellent wine or flowers. This thanks the hostess in
advance for preparing a good meal. "Vengo a bussare con i piedi" I

The Mile
“The mile has all the elements of drama.” Sir Roger
Bannister
“The mile has a classic symmetry. . . . It’s a play in
four acts.” John Landy
“Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of
waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just
the right length – beginning, middle, end, a story unfolding.” Sebastian Coe
“It’s a brick wall.
I shall not attempt it again.” John Landy, after running between 4:02
and 4:03 six times in 1953
“Good miles are somewhat rare. And great miles – truly great miles – are
works of art that can never be precisely duplicated.”

ROBERTSON, Associated Press Writer,
There are rarely shortcuts to
places worth going
The only time you really live
fully is from thirty to sixty. . . . The young are slaves to dreams; the old
servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged
have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits. Hervey Allen, Anthony Adverse
The role of Zen in the
martial arts defies easy definition because Zen has no theory; it is an inner
knowing for which there is no clearly stated dogma. Its
ultimate aim is to free the
individual from anger, illusion, and false passion.
To win 100 victories in 100
battles is not the highest skill. To
subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill.

Some people became great by
doing what they didn’t want to do when they didn’t want to do it. Never the less, they did it well..
PERSISTENCE is different from
DETERMINATION. Determination is an
attitude. Persistence is action, a
demonstration of the attitude. Determination
produces persistence as it causes us to take action. Persistence means that we keep trying, that
we keep on keeping on.

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse reruns on

1985, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was on TV the next year and ran for five years, until
1991, reruns have not been shown for 15 years. WHY IS IT CALLED ADULT SWIM?
It's a swimming pool analogy, basically. It refers to those times when adults
find it more enjoyable to have kids "out of the pool." Link

Biscuits: mix oil/fat/butter
into flour with fork
2 ¼ cups flour
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons lard
1 cup buttermilk
Sift and mix dry ingredients, then blend with lard. Add
buttermilk. For each biscuit, pinch off a portion of
dough about the shape of a large egg and pat out with
your hands. Bake in a 350-degree oven in wood stove
about 10 minutes. In a modern electric or gas stove, bake
at 475-500 degrees. Makes about 8 large biscuits.

Choked Biscuits Ronni
Lundy, her cookbook: Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes and Honest Fried Chicken
2 and 1/2 cups soft-wheat flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 slightly softened butter (Crisco is fine)
1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix or sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Cut butter into
the flour mixture and use fingers or a spoon to lightly blend. Dump buttermilk
into the flour all at once and mix quickly and lightly just until dough holds
together. Turn out on a well-floured board, pat out and fold it over a couple
of times, lightly. Roll out to 3/4 inch thickness and cut with a straight-sided
biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for
15-20 minutes until tops are golden brown.
To choke your biscuits, grab
a big handful of dough in your left hand (if you're right handed, or vice versa
if you're not) and pat it smooth lightly. Then squeeze a biscuit-sized lump of
the dough through the circle made with your thumb and forefinger, pushing
gently from the back with your right hand. Put on an ungreased baking sheet
with the rough, broken surface down.

Do just once what others say

There are times all during
life when we need the inner resources to keep ourselves busy and productive all
by ourselves.
Mr. Rogers, from The World
According to Mister Rogers
I like to swim, but there are
some days I just don’t feel much like doing it – but I do it anyway! I know
it’s good for me and I promised myself I’d do it every day, and I like to keep
my promises. That’s one of my
disciplines. And it’s a good feeling
after you’ve tried and done something well.
Inside you think, “I’ve kept at this and I’ve really learned it – not by
magic, but by my own work.”
Mr. Rogers, from The World According to Mister Rogers
I might add, replace the word swim with: run,
workout, teach, go to work,
clean up, etc.)
We need to help people to
discover the true meaning of love. Love
is generally confused with dependence.
Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in
proportion to our capacity for independence.

The only thing that endures
is character.
The best of the worst is now
the best. Anonymous
Running vs Walking - The
differences are relatively small, however, running does product more
“afterburn,” 20% more.
I think I pursued life as a
solitary, singular experience. And so my
values were inside, not outside. I
didn’t look to anybody else for compliments.
I went and did what I did the best I could do it. I was always the ultimate judge of what I
achieved. George Sheehan
We all can’t be heroes
because someone has to sit on the side of the road and clap as we go by.
Hang in there long enough and
good things will happen.
May 31, 2006
The glory of God is Man fully
functioning. Why exercise? Because your life depends on it, your total
life, including your creativity and your self-esteem. God is watching. Do good. George Sheehan, Oct, 1987
Let me tell you the secret
that has led me to my goal. My strength
lies solely in my tenacity. Louis
Pasteur
WILLPOWER is an active
conscious decision, not an internal organ.
Yet it’s like a muscle – with exercise, it strengthens and grows.
“I don’t know that I have
talent but I believe determination is a talent.
No one loses who does his
best.
ACHIEVEMENT is the knowledge
that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. SUCCESS is being praised by others. Always aim for achievement and forget about
success.
The quality of a man’s life
is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence.

Heard the Good News? Things are better than you think. Yes, I
know, most Americans are in a sour mood these days, convinced that the struggle
in Iraq is an endless cycle of bloodshed, certain that our economy is in dismal
shape, lamenting that the nation and the world are off on the wrong track. That’s what polls tell us. But if we look at
some other numbers, we’ll find that we are living not in the worst of times but
in something much closer to the best.
From: Heard the
Good News? The National Interest By Michael Barone USNews.com
I’m not convinced that the
world is in any worse shape than it ever was.
It’s just that in this age of almost instantaneous communication, we
bear the weight of problems our forefathers only read about after they were
solved.

health spa in the United States in 1936, and in 1951, brought exercise to TV. Although now into his 90s, Jack looks 50. He and his
wife Elaine speak all over the world, inspiring people to help themselves to a better life, physically, mentally, and morally.

Ericsson's research suggests a
third cliché as well: when it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what
you love — because if you don't love it, you are unlikely to work hard enough
to get very good. Most people naturally don't like to do things they aren't
"good" at. So they often give up, telling themselves they simply
don't possess the talent for math or skiing or the violin. But what they really
lack is the desire to be good and to undertake the deliberate practice that
would make them better. From New York

It is a rare and a high
privilege to be in a position to help people understand the difference that
they can make not only in their own lives but in the lives of others by simply
giving of themselves.
Knowledge is happiness,
because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from
false, and lofty things from low.
There is nothing like a dream
to create the future.
And it's a good feeling after
you've tried and done something well.
Inside you think. "I've kept at this and I've really learned it --
not by magic, but by my own work."
I wish you well in your
endeavors and continued well being.
Sincerely, Matt
A wonderful strategy for
becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice allowing others the joy of
being right -- give them the glory.

You are the captain of your

reached only to the end of the bar.

It's not about getting a scholarship, being drafted or making Sports Center. It's a deep need that comes from the heart. We need to practice, to play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat, to compete. We don't practice with a future Twins first baseman, we don't lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift weights with a future doctor or nurse or engineer or businessperson. We do sign graduate applications, MCAT exams and student petitions. If we miss a kick or strike out, we don't let down the entire state. But the hurt is still the same. And when it's all over, we will walk off the track, court, or ice for the last time and our hearts will crumble. But deep down, we are proud of ourselves. We will forever be college athletes.

They were shouting vulgarities and scaring away the fish, she complained. She said she wanted to talk to the Park Superintendent.

Your pre-workout routine
should be triggered by a time or particular activity before the workout. Whatever the trigger is, use it as a signal
to clear your mind and put other things, such as school, relationships, etc.,
on the back burner and focus on what your are about to do in your workout.

I begin each day of my life
with a ritual: I wake up at 5:30 am and take a cab to Pumping Iron gym. The ritual is the cab, the moment I tell the
driver where to go. By making the
beginning automatic, we replace doubt and fear with comfort and routine. Athletes know the power of a triggering
ritual. A golfer chats with his caddie
and goofs off, but when he stands over the ball, he has signaled to himself
that it's time to concentrate. Twyla

If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will -
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think your are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go,
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins

You're on your own. And you know what you know.
