Thoughts From Randy
WE ARE
The theme for this year's State Summer Games is "WE ARE." It's a fairly po  pular theme these days, I guess because it allows anyone to complete the statement in any way they choose to identify with it. As I have driven our state from Carlsbad to Taos the past couple weeks, it's been fun hearing what our athletes, coaches, volunteers, etc. are coming up with. My favorites include WE ARE SPORTS, WE ARE STRONG, WE ARE CHAMPIONS, and with a smile -WE ARE Open for Business.
