Tim - is Seattle a practical option for you?

It is now I live in Indiana Tammy...home of the "wanna be" comedians " I'm bringing a single friend"... hummmm - do tell more. If she is 1/2 as perrrty as you, WOW Tim

dg. here's the scoop from a couple of points near Spearfish at around 1 pm: SD State Snow Depth SNOTEL Station Reports Station Snow Depth Max Temp Min Temp Elevation Observed Blind Park 30.5 in 34.9° F 21.6° F 6890 ft 12pm PST 11/06 North Rapid Creek 23.1 in 36.9° F 24.1° F 6130 ft 12pm PST 11/06 Now, as for a NYC rr, it wasn't as inspirational as the MCM, but I'll try to write something. Tomorrow, DH gets his ICD implanted, so if it is ok to wait until then, that will give me something to do to distract myself while I'm waiting. Deal? BTW, we have reached an agreement on what we are going to call the thing. I think I mentioned I started referring to it as "Sparky" but he objected (understandably, as he would like it not to be going off) and opted for "Sleepy." I didn't like that, b/c you want it to be on the job and do its thing if need be, and not asleep at the switch. SO, the new name is "Pedey," after the most dependable Dustin Pedroia, a real team player and heart of this year's team. Feels right. grins, A ps: I like "gnarly running girl." We could go with GRG for short and use it for those times when we go out and put in a gutsy run, like Karin going on after her face plant in last month's marathon. As in "Way to run, GRG!" Or, "that was a real GRG race!"

Tammy-We all know how pretty you are...just stop it...

Amy... i didn't know it was tomorrow! hugs to you both. It's ok to wait until tomorrow. Deal. What time will they do it? Wish we could sit with you. Possibly it wouldn't have melted all that snow anyway . Has it stopped? Did you have to shovel a path for Frank? You know, after I was bugging you about it,it occurred to me that you're the one that put in all the effort to achieve this accomplishment that we're all excited & happy about... and then we (I) demand you do more like you owe it somehow. . However... that Red Sox excuse, now that doesn't cut it. -). Speaking of which! That's the perfect name! "Thursday, Pedroia, the sparkplug of the Boston Red Sox, was officially awarded a Rawlings Gold Glove for his defensive excellence." GRG, that works . Erika, yay. thanks.

Timothy - I haven't tried pool running, but I remember when my friend John was on the DL and did pool running, he did say it took a few times before he got a good rhythm down. Initially, he felt ackward and had a hard time staying centered as he ran. So, if you try it, keep at it because from what I hear it take a little getting used to before you feel sort of proficient at it. Indiana huh? I was there once. And I like your football team.
