This is a post Dave started on our other trial blog...I thought it was cute...I think he wrote it in Feb. when it was freezing

Let's start with something warm.
It's obviously the dead of winter here in Cleveland and that's no way to start off a blog. Our intro will consist of the last few pictures taken before the long night of the Cleveland winter set in. I wish it were always like this around here.

This is me...in a tree fort. I'm still in school. There's a good chance that I always will be. I'm currently in my 2nd of 5 years of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency. This year is like 3rd/4th year med school for me. I'm currently in an ER rotation that I'm really enjoying (and not just for the relaxed schedule). Mostly I'm excited for spring break in another week and that it's maple tapping season.

As you can see, I haven't grown up yet...but I'm not worried because my dad obviously hasn't either. It's not looking good for Trevor.

Do you think any male Collette has a chance of actually maturing to their natural age? Didn't think so.
Maybe it is so their wives can stay young. Thanks for taking one for the team. :)

I don't think Nate's going to "grow up" anytime soon either! Haha! :)

NUMBER ONE SPEECH

"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
