Adventures of a Skeleton Slider - Year 3

I don't know why, but I really have a hard time really going after things that I profess to want.  Sure, I moved out to Park City to try to be a skeleton athlete, but did I spend time in the gym getting bigger and stronger?  No.

When I was in high school, I was on the J.V. soccer team for three years, I just expected that I would get moved up to the varsity for my senior year - not necessarily because I'd worked so hard the year before, but because it was "just my time."

I don't know why I'm so content to just drift through life, catching on to oppportunities as they come to me -- I suppose I've been relatively successful at it so far, finding good jobs, a great wife, and other things, but there's this constant little nagging in the back of my head that says I could be so much more with just a little effort.

I was the same way in college -- content to write that term paper at the last minute and get a B+, when starting a week earlier probably would have gotten me an A.  Some people have that desire and motivation, and some don't.  I'm in that latter category, which is why my motto should probably be "Woulda', coulda', shoulda'."

I'll try to keep this updated over the summer, but no promises.  Who knows, perhaps I'll even put some updates on what my "regular" life is doing.

Another season down, but the adventure continues.
