Hawaii & Michael Vick

First, Michael Vick: Note the image to the left. Some have been vilifying him and the NFL for letting him back in and allowing him to play. But, shouldn't he have a second chance?

He was convicted for a crime and did his time in prison for it. Is he reformed? Is he going to do it again? We don't know, but we won't either until we give him a chance to prove himself. We do this in our society, define a person by their mistakes. Are you perfect? Would you want to be defined for life by your biggest mistake?

I say, give the guy a second chance to prove himself, and kudos to the NFL for allowing him to try. What a great story this could be, Michael Vick arrested for dog fighting, does time, returns to the NFL, reforms himself, and becomes an excellent role model/an example of overcoming adversity instead of succumbing to it.

Our News:

We just got home from Hawaii. We were there for a month with work. Ashley has photos up on her facebook page, I've got a few from the guys' golf outing on facebook also. We almost had a hurricane while we were there, but it downgraded to a tropical depression, then slipped by Oahu to the south. So, we ended up having wonderful weather the whole time we were there. We stayed in Waikiki, right on the beach. And the highlight of the trip was swimming with some Galapagos sharks. Very cool!!!
