Guitar Man

First of all, we'd like to send out our congrats to Julie and Chuck on the birth of their daughter, Marley Jane, born on Friday. Everyone is healthy and doing well, and by all accounts Chuck is being a wonderful father. Congratulations!!

Yesterday we had out Tahoe team party at Coach Bob's house. We were also joined by some of our Tri athletes who had just completed the Maui Tri earlier in June. It was a great time, and Bob and Jodi did a fantastic job feeding and drinking everyone. Lucas put together a great DVD with highlights from the season, along with video clips from event weekend. Fantastic job. Julie and I also received a very nice framed team photo from the Tahoe team which was signed by everyone. A very nice gesture. It was a great team and the party was nice to see everyone again.

Today we didn't do a whole lot, Julie was feeling so-so (a possible combination of a cold and allergies) so we didn't do much. It was nice - we needed a day for just us, so it came along at the perfect time.

I was doing some random searching a couple weeks ago on You Tube and came across this guy who plays the acoustic guitar - and he is amazing. Check him out here - you won't be disappointed. If you like it do a search on his name and you'll find a lot of cool videos with him. I wish I could play like that.

Another video I found was this video from a tribute concert to honor George Harrison. A great version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". You'll see George's son to the right of Eric Clapton, playing the acoustic guitar. It's amazing how much he looks like his father. Oh, and do you suppose Jeff Lynne could have MORE hair? Geez, get a haircut dude.

Anyone know of a good place to get great Mexican food in the southwest part of the cities?

Can you believe it's July already? Two weeks from yesterday is the triathlon. At this point we're just wanting to do it. We know we're ready and we'll do fine, and will perhaps be at the back of the pack, but we know we'll get across that finish line.

Julie and I were talking this morning and saying that 3 years ago if someone would have told us we would have done 2 marathons, a half marathon, a century ride, and a triathlon in the next 3+ years we would have thought they were nuts. It's been a great run of events since 2004, and we're looking forward to taking some time off. However, neither of us can imagine TNT not being a key part of what we do and who we are. We have grown in so many ways through this program and we continually meet many awesome, beautiful people. Honestly, if you've never been part of TNT you really need to try it. It will change your life.

So, come July 15th, we will be officially on hiatus from training for events but we'll still be heavily involved with the program. So, come out and join us - you won't be disappointed.

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance...
