San Antonio Rock ‘n Roll Marathon and Half Marathon

On Sunday, the race I’ve been training for finally came.  Because of my 12 Mile Issue, my physical therapist said I would not be able to compete in the full marathon and could only run the half if I promised not to compete and just used the race as a fun, slow training run.  Up [...]

In the picture above, the baby is 11 weeks and a few days along. Sorry, the scanner I used is garbage so the image quality is bad. The white fuzzy thing you can barely see above the head is it’s hand. When we were watching this on the monitor at the Dr.’s office [...]

Lunch with the MVT

So, one of the guys on the team is putting a vermi compost thingamajig together and had another co-worker bring him some worms to start it up. We all happened to be eating lunch at the time the worms were delivered, so naturally we started trying to bribe people to eat a worm.

Easter Beer

Today is Easter and the end of Lent. I’m not Catholic so I’ve never really done the whole Lent thing of giving something up for 40 days as a sacrifice. This year I felt compelled to give up something to support some friends so I gave up alcohol. All alcohol. Liquor [...]
