Daily Grind

Greg Mattice is one of my heroes. He has a debilitating neurological condition that in a short time took him from Ironman triathlete to someone who has difficulty getting around. It is his attitude that astounds me. It is remarkable what it allows him to accomplish under conditions that would crush many. Today he holds court at the Daily Grind. This is the first day since the holidays he has felt like getting out of the house.

Pizza Fusion

The end of a good day. Sierra serves up a fabulous pie at Pizza Fusion — the all organic pizza shop in Short Pump — for a leisurely meal and conversation with a good friend.
