Respect
I had the pleasure of meeting Jonell Bayers Granpa this week. Grandpa is in his nineties and very impressive man. After reflecting on the photo and reading Why True Grit Matters I had some insights. Max Fernandez of South County Crossfit was the first to introduce me to the word GRIT. He keep repeating it as to what it takes to be good at Crossfit. I nodded my head yes as to act like I knew what he was talking about. After reading the article I found out I didnt have a clue.
Grandpas generation is considered The Greatest Generation to live in the History of the United States. I agree with this statement. Grandpas generation had GRIT. They busted their butts working, living, and providing for the future generations.
What will be said of our generation?

over due C2E2 blog
I know I said I'd do this yesterday... but, I didn't. Here is what happened the whole weekend of C2E2. It's not exceptionally entertaining but here you go.
Emily and I started off at about 8:00 pm Thurs. and did really good time wise. The traffic was a piece of cake and we had the audio book "Lord of Chaos" from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Saga with us so that helped. Got to Tom's around 11:20 or so Chicago time.
Headed out to the convention the next day, sorta took a wrong veer and ended up at Target. Which was okay because we needed some things. Then magically ended up in just the right parking structure for the show and got to our table hassle free. The show went really well, artist alley was really packed full of people and it was almost non stop. Highlight of the show was when a friend brought us home smoked uncut bacon and cookies, including a batch of his peanut butter and bacon cookies. He actually brought us three parcels of bacon but we're supposed to give the other two to the Petersens and Katie Cook and her husband Ryan. After the show we had dinner with the Petersens and Mark Smylie of Artesia fame. The line for the restaurant was too long for our too hungry selves so we decided to try the bar. It was loud and cramped and busy and we didn't get menus until Julia decided she would bus our table for us and took all the empties up to the bar and gave them to a waitress. After that it didn't take long to get some notice. I will say I think there were like two waitresses for the entire area, so I empathized. Getting back to the car was a fiasco, couldn't get to the right floor of the hotel to get to the sky bridge because after 11 you need a room key to get the elevator to work right. Then I tried putting my self pay parking ticket into the machine at the hotel instead of across the street at where my car was parked. Okay I know that sounds kinda dumb but, all the machines look alike and all the buildings are connected and no where on the frigging thing does it say "this machine is for hotel parking only" even if it had said "not for cars in lot A" I would've felt less of an idiot. That wasn't the end of the troubles of trying to get to the car but I don't want to talk about the rest, sooo...
Sat. was pretty darn the best con day I've had to date. Got to the convention a little late due to traffic but when I did get there, there was a bit of a line at my table and my con sketch list for the day filled almost immediately. Which was pretty cool. Lots of people throughout the day and after picking up books from Tom last night I didn't have to worry at all about running out. After the show Emily and I had planned to just go back to Tom's and order a pizza and just relax but Tom was over at a friend's birthday party so we met him there and received an awesome home cooked meal.
Sun. was also really surprising for a Sun. usually I make about a third of what I can on a Fri. but it was about the same as Sat. I had a nice talk with one of my favorite artists, which made me feel really cool. Afterward we took a stroll and got some sushi with Gordon and Jennifer of Transylvania TV and Dave and Julia Petersen at a restaurant called Triad, just a few blocks from the convention center. It was a delicious way to end the show. We loaded the car up with CPG trades and said farewell to Tom and headed home.
That's about it, hope I didn't bore you too much, heh. Among the things I had at the show I did have the finished Kickstarter print original there and a couple of the Pook the Tarantula plushies. I successfully handed over the Kickstarter piece to Tom and he should have been able to get it scanned by now. I will be able to post some art from it soon. Here are a couple of the con sketches I managed to remember to take photos of.
The next con I'll be attending is the Comic Geek Speak Supershow in Reading Penn. April 30th and May 1st. Hope to see you there.

2011 Honda CR-V
Honda’s most sought after vehicles especially for those families who are looking for the most practical and economical vehicle that they can use. The CR-V may not be that physically attractive inside and out since it is a little bulgy in appearance and looks more like a mini-SUV, but this vehicle is definitely ideal for those customers who are looking for a more versatile and spacious vehicle for their family. No wonder Honda came out with the 2011 Honda CR-V and as a result, this car model has made it into the top 10 best selling Japanese cars in December, 2010.
Achieving such status just proved that the 2011 Honda CR-V is a very popular one. Well, one of the main reasons for such achievement is believed to be attributable to its price, which is around $ 21,695 only. The car may not be as exciting as the other vehicles in the market, but this will be an excellent choice for families who need a perfect car for their needs.
As mentioned, the CR-V used to look like a mini-SUV. However, its last redesigned has changed it a little bit and made it into a more compact replacement to minivans that comes with the hinged doors and a slightly more rounded roofline as well. The 2011 Honda CR-V does not really vary that much as compared with the 2010 model.
To give you an idea of what the 2011 Honda CR-V promises, here are some of its specs:
* comes with a 2.4-liter I-4 with 180 horsepower engine
* available in a five-speed automatic transmission
* comes with safety car features such as anti-lock disc brakes, an antiskid system, side curtain airbags along with side airbags, stability control and an available back-up camera as well
* fuel economy remains at 21 mpg on the city and 28 mpg on the highway
In addition to this, the 2011 Honda CR-V also comes with a clean design and pretty good material quality. And best thing about this vehicle is that it has ample space and cargo capacity making it very ideal for those families who love to travel and who are always on- the- go.

2011 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged
Prior to our stint with the 2011 Range Rover Supercharged, we enjoyed some time with a Jaguar XKR. The Jag and the Rover have the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 and about the same six-figure price tag, which led a friend to ask which vehicle we'd prefer to own. Without hesitation, this author's answer is the one you'd willingly take off-road. The supercharged Rover has more than enough power to be an exhilarating drive, is extremely capable off road and has room to spare for family, friends, pets, groceries and golf clubs.
It just makes more sense than the Jag. Sense, however, usually doesn't factor in when you're making a four-wheeled wish list, so we took our friend for a ride, after which he hopped out with a smirk and said, 'I'd take the Rover, too...'
This particular Landie is the latest iteration of Land Rover's most famous sport utility vehicle. Sold alongside the same model with a naturally aspirated version of its 5.0-liter V8, the Supercharged is perhaps not as visually athletic to behold as the Range Rover Sport, or the Jaguar XKR for that matter, but it's just as powerful as both and can carry more cargo. Which makes the 2011 Range Rover Supercharged an Alex Trebec-approved answer to the clue, 'A $102,365 vehicle famous for off-roading that does things on road you didn't know it could.'
