Priorities

This weekend I found where my priorities lie. At around 11:00 AM on Saturday morning, I had just finished changing the oil in my car when my father in law asked if I wanted to go kayaking. In the back of my mind I was thinking, "Hmmm, the KU-KState game starts at 11:30." Then I took a sample of my surroundings: sixty five degrees, absolutely no wind, crystal clear skies, and an autumn filled scenery. Compare that to watching a football game that was certain to bring nothing but a foul mood...I didn't even think twice as I loaded my kayak into the truck. We went for about two hours down the river and it was just what I needed to unwind. Just paddling down the river, scaring up a few deer along the way, letting your hands float in the cool water, listening to the leaves fall, it was so much better than the alternative. The choice was also confirmed upon seeing the score of the game when we returned.
