Madi and Soccer

7-17-2008 - Today was one of Madi's last days of soccer. She seems to have had fun with it this summer. It wasn't a competitive thing. They just learned the basics of soccer. Like don't touch the ball with your hands.

Tommy in Iraq

7-2-2008 - My good friend Tommy left for the Middle-East today. We are all hoping that he will be safe and his wife Sara and his kids receive all of the support that they need. Sara, Cass and I are here, if you need anything.

Albuquerque Challenge Update

6-16-2008 - For those of you that are participating in the Albuquerque Challenge, I have made a change to the rules. Staying within the spirit of the Challenge, I have added an additional activity other than walking. You can now ride a bicycle in order to earn mileage. However, one mile on a bicycle is only equal to one quarter of a mile of walking. I based the figure on a couple of resources that compared various activities to walking. Cycling one mile burned about 1/4th of the calories that you would burn walking a mile.

Friday the 13th

6-13-2008 - Happy Friday the 13th.

The Garden

6-12-2008 - Cass was excited to get a picture of the "fruits" of her labor on the web site. No, those are not huge Jalapeno peppers. It is a small tomato.
