The event is held every year on labor day. Oddly it began in 2001. We were basically living at peace back then. A week later our world changed.
The show has shown many faces over the past years. Compassion, outrage, frustration, hope have all been moods of the anti war/peace community as exhibited at the Peace Show.
Yesterday seemed to have a lot of energy. I think people feel a troop reduction is near, as is an administrative change.
Of the many groups present, I found myself drawn toward the Animal rights and cycling groups more so than the efforts to end the war. I think I see peacemaking as a personal thing that happens with the choices I make in my own life.

I have gotten back to a regular training schedule. I feel good. Nothing long yet. I think I may do a 13 miler with Dane.

Speaking of Dane, good luck to those of you headed to Dane County, Wisconsin. I will be following races of my CTC friend Jack Carney (78) and blogger IM Able (53). Part of me will be wondering "What if?" because my plan "A" was IMMoo. I didn't have a "B" plan at that time. My music career began 20 years ago on State Street. Becoming an Ironman there seemed like such a fun plan.
Well, you know how the story played out. I wouldn't have changed a thing. My experience was amazing. It will forever be one of my favorite memories......Oh yeah, and I am an IRONMAN.
Hee Hee Hee....I will cut that out in a few weeks. Still can't wipe the smile off my face.

If you want to ask me what I think is important in life, don't ask me what I think. Ask me what I DO.
