Muddy Buddy

I was looking through old photos and ran across this one. Funny pics like this just need to be shared. It's from 2003 when I participated in the Muddy Buddy race. You have a buddy and throughout the race you switch off between mountain biking and running. Between each switch you complete an obstacle. At the end you wait for your buddy then go thru the mud pit together. Georgia red clay is not good mud. It was gritty and I tore up my knees. I was laughing through most of this though. In case you were wondering I pretty much threw away everything I was wearing (except the helmet). I noticed the race will be in Boulder, CO in August of this year. Something to consider.

Kelly and Harold's Travels

I mentioned back in January that Kelly was engaged and going on a year long trip through Europe, India and Asia. The trip has begun! I've added a link to Harold and Kelly's blog on the right.

Catching Up With Old Friends

Eileen and I met up with Megan at Zengo for dinner.






When Eileen and I showed up at this restaurant, the Valet asked if we thought it was a little early in the week to be needing a happy hour. I told him we were there to catch up with an old friend. Then Megan came, and he asked her if she was there with the 20 person party. Megan said she was catching up with old friends. The valet said "the old friends" were already inside.

Easter Brunch

We started our brunch with fruit and mimosas. Eileen made two different fruit dips. I made Ham puffs (ham, swiss cheese, onion, parsley in crescent roll dough in mini-muffin pan). Eileen got really creative and also made ricotta cheese pancakes. It was all excellent.

We then got to egg decorating. Eileen kicked it up a notch this year with her internet research. We were using rubber bands and electrical tape. Someone brought up the idea that putting the eggs in snow would display them best. I don't know... It was snowing.

Copper Mtn Weekend

I spent the weekend with Eileen, Joan, Ellen and Fred and Vicki were in town. We stayed up at Copper Mountain. Eileen and I got 2 good days of skiing/boarding in.
