Can it be that we have made it all the way across from the Atlantic to the Pacific towing that damn trailer? And we still haven't figured out how to get the hot water running in it. Arrived at Paul and Jacki's house last night, and they took us out for Sushi. The view of the Pacific from the terrace is sumptuous. We haven't had showers like these in months. The kids are asking their father why he didn't decide to become a heart surgeon. The reports on Mexican History are coming along. Yesterday Max saw a Red Diamondback Rattlesnake slithering slowly past us on the Canyon Trail in Agua Caliente!

I'm going to start in the middle here and we'll work our way back as we go along. Sound good? Awesome. So, today is more or less a new beginning for me. I'm about 4 weeks or so into my marathon training and really starting to notice some results. For instance. Last Saturday I ran seven miles. Seven miles! Seven! Now, in comparison to the what, 26.2 that I'll have to run in October, yeah, seven is not such a huge number. But, in comparison to the roughly, oh, I don't know... none, that I used to run, seven is Huge! So that's a major change right there. The next big change... pain. Whew. I mean, I've had a messed up knee for some time now and that's no big thing (especially since I actually bought ... read more
