Race for the Kids with Alan Webb...

Once again, we had a great time for a great cause on the day after Thanksgiving. The kids are divided into age-groups and each age group has it's own race with everyone cheering them on.

Alan Webb runs every race with a smile on his face and kind words for all the kids.

And yes, that's me, sporting the ski lift tickets from the early 90s on my jacket. Luckily, my daughter is still too young to be embarrassed by my lack of style.

Go 285!!!!

Only 15939 points to go!

Well, I'm really just in it for the patch I never earned but here's the cookie-cutter email I was sent to attempt to suck everyone else into my lame "dream"...

Never too late to be a champion...

I never earned the Presidential Physical Fitness award. There was always one event that screwed me. One year it was the shuttle run, the next year the 50 yard dash. It has bugged me for many years.

Well, my time has come. I have signed up for the Presidential Champions program and once I reach 20,000 points, I will earn my patch (which I will have to purchase for a small fee).

Can't sleep so I created a blog...

Today I created a blog. Now I just need something interesting to say.

That'll do for today.
