Cool links

Old Wahoo just wanted to alert the masses (all three of you out there) about a couple of cool articles on the Internet. 
The first came via an e-mail from my brother. It's a story from The Golf Channel about a golfer with no arms, and if it doesn't move you to action, you're even lazier than me. Quite simply, no one should say they can't do something, and it's a reminder to get the kids, as well as myself, moving. It also reminds me of a great friend who faced similar challenges and met them with a similar attitude in which he has let nothing stop him.
The second comes from GeekDad, my favorite nerd blog, and it talks about a couple of cool Founding Fathers, including my favorite, TJ.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Words of the Week

With the Fourth of July just past, Old Wahoo remembers Thomas Jefferson:
"I like the dreams of the furture better than the history of the past." - Jefferson in a letter to John Adams (thanks to "American Sphinx" by Joseph J. Ellis).
