Ribs-living in fairly close proximity to Buffalo I got the reference. TimBo, get your popcorn ready!

Ohhhh......Now I get it !

SRL... how about yours?

He's dealing with several pulmonary embolisms and blood clots in his legs, so they put him on Coumadin to thin his blood. So he's very concerned that he'll stub his toe or get a paper cut and bleed a lot. Other than that, he's doing ok. One or more of the kids are staying with him at all times. My step-mom is there too. My shift starts next week for awhile. Which means I won't be here taking care of my dog, who also needs some help still.

Holly, I think our highly intelligent intellect keeps us from "getting it" Ok.... TimbO

I'm impressed . . . even I got the TO reference . .. but then we are football fans at our house. speaking of football . . . my husband returned from March Meet (drag racing event) down in California. One of the vendors down there that has become a good friend of my husbands, is a guy that sells football and baseball cards. Well, for Christmas, this guy "Dave" sent our son a box of football cards - 550 of them. Plus, last year, my husband brought back a few hundred football cards for our son also. Well, this year, Dave really went overboard. He gave our son well over 2500 football cards. And he said he's putting together another batch for him and will mail them. Some of them have a value upwards of $15 each and we even found a few rarities in the batch that were marked at $25 each. A lot of "older ones" in there, that our son doesn't recognize, but we sure do! Even a few of Singleterry back in the day - all kinds of cards from some of the older 'greats'. Our son is quite meticulous about how he's organizing them too. Slightly OCD . . . sounds familiar

Holly - The Saturday runs will go up in 2-mile increments, if I remember correctly, then Sundays runs will eventually be 10 miles in length. The goal at the end of all this is to complete my 50k trail runs without being DFL and dead every time. And (I can't believe I'm speaking this out loud) if all goes well this year, I would really like to challenge myself next year (or the next) with a 50 miler. Ack!

Well, the football reference is all still lost on me, but that's fine. Whatever. Landed in Seattle around 11:20 this morning (WA time) and there was snow out there! WTF? Just gotta keep heading south, I guess. Can't get away from that stuff. Just talked to DH and he's boarding his flight now in Pittsburgh to meet up with me at my conference in Vegas. Should be fun, they're having some events for guests/spouses too and we hardly ever (if ever) have our trips line up like this. Between my sessions and having him there, I'm not sure how much running I'll get done this week... need to try to get him out there anyway so this could be interesting! I can see how skiing would take it out of your running legs, if you weren't used to it. Amazing how Byll was able to just pick it right up again... I'd be more like PDR I think. Tim, the "get back on the horse" approach is important, physically as well as mentally. When I crashed on my long run two Sunday's ago, I just knew I had to try it again this past Sunday. That "do over" run worked out pretty well, and I was able to run last night over 6 with no problem. This running stuff is a funny thing.

T.O........Owens.......Buffalo 'cause Dallas is tired of his &^%$. Some people REALLY can't be coached.

I got it....but the uncoachable have been on my mind lately. Didja see who the Celtics signed? And the Globe recently had an article on Manny's condo going on the market. Ribs, do tell us the # when you get it. Did you get to tell Bar and Robin the secret password now that they're in the club? Nono, very nice photo, thanks for that. Robert, wishing your dad all the best. He'll love spending time with you. (sorry for your doggers, tho). Boring me, more elli[ptical, except DH was at the gym running on the treadmill (his office was closed today, due to weather, but not mine) so that was nice. And he cleaned off my car, warmed it up AND drove me to work this am. grins, A for those interested in a Crissy & Kevin update, here's the latest: MONDAY, MARCH 09, 2009 08:45 PM, CDT I (sort of) got to dance with my wife today. The physical therapy people, who are among my favorites in the world right now, came by and got Crissy sitting on the edge of the bed, as they have been doing for about a week now. She was putting weight on her feet, so they decided to have her stand. The three of us stood next to her so she wouldn't fall, but for the most part she stood on her own. She started to move side to side, so we turned up the music and I put my arms around her, and we swayed back and forth for a while. It was wonderful! Crissy has been making some sounds the last few days, and it appears as if she is trying to form words with her mouth. Since she has the tracheostomy in her throat, some of the noise comes out of there and some out of her mouth. The noises she makes don't make any sense, but I think it's another small sign of progress. Your support and prayers have been overwhelming. Thanks so much. Your faith is inspiring. Love, Kevin
