Smells Like Beef

So, there was this dude who like totally dropped off the face of the earth (well, ok, not literally) for a long time and when he came home, his father had his finest cow slaughtered in celebration of his return. I’m assuming beef will be served shortly.

Yeah, it’s been a while, huh? (Insert sounds of crickets here.) Back to playing to an empty room – just me and the janitor guy from Billy Joel’s music video for “For The Longest Time”. Or was he in Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”?

Anyway, no excuses here for the lack of a posting over the last 15 years, but I will say I’ve been quite busy. And there is so much to say!

Many of you know (or both of you depending on how many still blow the dust off the blog by paying a visit – and what does “paying a visit” mean anyway? Does one have only X number of visits and they use up one to come read this drivel? I digress…) Where was I? Oh yeah, so both of you know I participated in the Life Time Fitness Triathlon on Saturday, July something-or-other. I did the sprint distance this year and it went swimmingly. HA! Get it? Swimmingly. I improved on both my swim and bike pace and was the same on the run. I would have improved there as well if it wasn’t for developing a blister from my brand new kicks. I guess it’s true when they tell us to not try anything new on race day. Whodathunk?

If you were one of the many who donated to help me raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society then I thank you! I surpassed my goal with your help! Julie is still fundraising for her duathlon, so if you haven’t yet donated and would like to do so please visit her web page linked on the right side of this web page. That would be my left, your right, because you know I’m watching you through your computer screen. Hi! But seriously, we appreciate your support as we try to further the Society’s mission. Thank you!
