"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian
"Orange you glad it's Valentines Day?" Not that you could tell from my pictures, but Maximus did enjoy his Valentine party. The kids were saying the Orage joke & his teacher explained how in some cultures they do not celebrate Valentines Day. We also learned that the Chinese New Year begins on Feb 14th & a symbol of good luck is to give friends & neighbors oranges. Fascinating, huh? I didn't know that!
Can you see Maximus's black left eye? He hit his upper cheek on his sled the day before on the snow day. He looks a little rough in these pictures. I don't remember him being in a foul mood.

"We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box." - Robert Fulghum-
