Hood to Coast

Well, it's Friday and I am getting ready to run Hood to Coast. I'm a little nervous but not to run but because I have a previously large pain in my hip which I am trying to stretch out but I am having my doubt's. I just hope that it doesn't seriously affect my time, not for my sake but for my teammates. I don't want to be the"one". You know, the one that is the reason that a team doesn't do well. Not a good feeling. Oh well. I'm going to try to not let it bother me and go do the best that I can. On another note, on Sunday, the band that I play in, Quarterhorse, is playing @ a block party. Should be fun. I can see a definite progression here. Firsy we played @ a grad party, now a block party. When we get to a company party, then a bar mitzvah, I'll know we've made the big time. Check out our myspace page @ www.myspace.com/quarterhorse007. I'll post some pix from H2C when I get them. See ya.

Deep thoughts......................

Here is a question that is on my profile but deserves to be asked again. " If a tree falls in the forest(or on an island for that matter), and no one is there to hear the sound..................... WHO CARES??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car show

There was a really cool car show @ our church this weekend. About 60 cars. Kind of small but only the 4th year so it can only get better. Some pretty cool cars. I'm partial to trucks, specifically the early 60's Chevy. Had a couple there. One was restored to pretty original stock and the other was more custom. Best of show was a 38 Chevy coupe. Bright red w/ a bright red paint job and more custom work than I can describe. Also, only 4 more days till Hood to Coast. This is my first year so I'm a little apprehensive because I don't quite know what to expect. I mean, I should know all the legs since my wife has done it for 9 years. She is a pretty amazing runner and is my inspiration. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes later.

What's new ???????

Hey all,(Dave) I've been busy and haven't been posting anything (Dave) because I've been busy (Dave) and haven't had time to put anything on here (Dave).Actually, I've been kind of lazy about this blog because I've been spending time on my other blog www.jessica-goes-to-africa.blogspot.com and have been neglecting this one. Lots has happened since I last posted. Jessica went to Africa and just returned todat after almost 2 months there. You can read all about it at the previously mentioned link. Lots of pix and info. Great to have her home. Anyway, things are good. Amanda, our recent graduate, is loving her job @ Starbucks. She is doing really well. Also she is still dancing and signed up for college classes. On July 1st, we moved Carolyns business (hair salon) to their new location and it was an instant hit. People love the new,roomier and open design of the building. I ran a half-marathon on June 23rd and did okay. 2 hrs 14 min. It was really hard but now I am going to run Hood to Coast. That will be interesting. Anyway, gotta go. Will post more later.I added a few new items to my page. Hope you all enjoy.
