Good luck Holly and DH. Is taper boy back to the western society? 6 miles in the early morning on fresh fallen snow. It is going to be a busy day giving a workshop for 6 long hours. Who is going to have the beer cold for me when I return?.

I've got cold beer any time you're in the area...

SRL food on the telly. As we used to say, snork. Penguin too obscure for me. Continued good wished for your dad.

Oddly, snork has become 'snerk'. One wonders about the change. Look! What's that on the tele? A penguin. A Monty Python reference. My dad's surgery is scheduled for a week from today IF he gets over the cold he has. Woohoo. I will run 6-10 miles later today depending on the thickness of our rain.

Look! What's that on the tele? A penguin.

Careful; if it lays an egg it might fall down the back of the television set. Unless it's a male. ETA: Sometimes it worries me that I can't remember the names of people I met this morning, but I remember stuff like this from my adolescence. Best wishes to all the walking (or not) wounded. Good luck to Holly's, DH. Running later...I hope.

snerk? Woohoo.... Now how did I miss that?? They're not from a temperate zone. I keep imaging a 'rain thickness' report on the Weather Channel... Tramps, me too, usually. In case anyone else is as backward as I am... http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/penguin.htm Mary, get better. (((Sue)))

Hi dg! Holly, best to DH--what books do you have? Tramps--how's this, I forget what my clients look like some of the time (when they come in for an appt. a few weeks before court) so before a court session begins, I have to stand and scan the audience <squinting> and hoping perhaps they will approach me. I used to feel really bad about this until, when covering files for some of my colleagues, saw that they jotted down distinguishing features in their initial interview notes. ................and we 12 PDs closed 5,500 cases last year. Best to Sr. Lopez the first, we'll be thinking of him. Heal up, deez! Gym day here, except if I have time, may just have to do a couple as it's warm here again. Wish they could be easy AND 8:10s like Meg's ! Mari, I'm thinking a dry rose'. Say, ever made spaghetti carbonara? Got a good recipe (or Franc, feel free to give up one of yours, I'm sure you have one, no?) grins, A ps: Hiya arf and dive. Thanks for all your good wishes. Frank is showing some arthritis in his right hind leg but we have him on green lipped sea mussels (isn't that a hoot?) and he was trying to run squirrels up trees this am. He's "working" today--D. has northern outreach in Spearfish and Sturgis, so Frank gets to ride along.</squinting>

I am at a conference in Utah at the moment. They are on a break and most of the people have headed out to ski. Well, since I cannot ski (see: leg malfunction) I am borrowing a friend's office to work. Which I really have to do as I am really far behind everything I need to do. Well, you have to take what good comes out of things . . . biketm it sounds like your recovery is progressing steadily! It is really nice to see. Mariposai happy to join you! After a 6 hour lecture you are going to need a case. Could you order me a stout or porter if I am late?

Holly - hope all goes well with DH. I've been so busy at work that I haven't posted in about a week. On Saturday, I was going to do 15 miles. Part way through the run, I realized it was the 15th anniversary of the coors light can toss into the brook incident. So I decided to go 20 instead. (I'd put a smiley face here if I ever used emoticons). This week - some fizzy lifting, 3 spin cycles, and 11 miles (yesterday) whilst watching One Crazy Summer (never saw it before). That movie really captured the essence of the 80's. Next week, our spin class instructor is having a race day. We're supposed to wear our biker colors. don't have any biker clothes, so I'll either go as the jester or the Turkeynator. There's only a 1% chance that I'll show up at the gym as the Nutty Cracker Fairie". Tramps - did you shampoo your hair this morning?
