Experience is not expensive, It's PRICELESS!

Yesterday, I left my home at 10am to fly to Tucson for my Grandfather's funeral on Saturday. We touched down in Denver to find out our flight is cancelled due to weather, nothing out until Friday morning.

Southwest kindly put me on the one remaining spot for the 7:55am flight this morning knowing time was of the essence (similar to a real estate transaction). I'm at the airport now with heavy fog and potential of delays and cancellation once again.

As I look around at frustrated passengers, I'm reminded of the devestation in Haiti. This morning, they experienced another after shock. Delays are merely a bump in the road in comparison and certainly put my challenges into perspective.

If you are interested in donating to those in Haiti, UPS is shipping anything under 50lbs for free to Haiti. You can send food clothes or shoes... Spread the word...Red Cross needs Creole speaking volunteers for a 24hr phone bank. Call Mr. Wilfrid @ 305-776-6900 ASAP

Today, be greatful for what you have even in the most challenging of situations in your own personal world. Things can always be worse. Pray for those who are in need and do something kind for someone else. Give back!

- FOREST PARK'S ART HILL: Located in Forest Park at the Art Museum, you won't want to miss this classic St. Louis tradition. Parking in Art Museum parking lot. Day and night sled riding. Sometimes a barrel with firewood is provided. There are hay bails at the end of the slope to keep sledders from going into the lake (not a problem).

- FOREST PARK'S SUICIDE HILL: Suicide Hill is located on Lagoon Drive, a quarter of a mile east of Skinker Blvd., on the fairway of the public golf course in Forest Park, next to the Cascade Waterfall. If you watch the 2nd half of this video here, then you can see it being sledded on.
