One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had dinner with the real Rain Man and his father and yes he is just like in the movie, it changed my life. I played soccer at 12,000ft in the Andes which left me way out of breathe especially with hiking boots on. One more thing...I was working out the other day and saw a guy with an oxygen tank walking on a treadmill and thought that is what life is about...not giving up..to continue without pause...to live.
