A little side project
When we bought our house back in 1994, the previous owners left behind a lot of junk one of which was a cupboard. This huge behemoth of a pile of wood with its stark white infirmary looking medicine chest color was more of an obstruction in the kitchen than the purpose it served. So, we just stuck

Giving back…
When I first started considering the cochlear implants back in 2006, little did I know there was a dedicated group of supporters whose personal mission was to help others on their journey.

Day 12….
Day 12….another rest day before the long run tomorrow which will consist of 8 at easy pace and then 4 at marathon pace. Should be fun! 1800 yards in the Y pool this morning was quite refreshing. The mornings are better than the evenings since the guppies are still sleeping. Anyway, for those of you
