Good morning, everyone!<br><br>
I haven't read the thread in days and days. Here's what I'm gathering:<br><br>
Ty ran a lot this weekend. Yay, Ty! Enjoy your rest day!!<br><br>
Gaela and Myron had damage from the wind. So sorry - good luck with repairs & repair people. We had some big branches down, but no damage to house or car.<br><br>
Abbie completed her half century in fine style - CONGRATULATIONS, ABBIE!<br><br>
Hippo ran a few hundred miles. Goooooooo, Hippo!<br><br>
Suds had a brick workout - lifting (beer) and running. So did Amber, but Amber's didn't involve beer.<br><br>
Lee is branching into soccer. Wow! Way to go!<br><br>
Andi and JohnnyB are churning out the cold, cold miles. Brrrrrrrrr. (Congrats to your DS, Andi!)<br><br>
Alemma has just signed up for her 117th marathon. J/K. I so admire your dedication, Alemma! (Grandfather Mtn looks skeeery, though.)<br><br>
Monika is single-handedly setting the Canadian real estate market back in motion. Good for you, Monika!<br><br>
Hi, Nicole!<br>
Hi, Heather!<br>
Hi, Rocken!<br>
Hi, Cho!<br><br>
Good morning to everyone else I may have missed.<br><br>
Swimming at lunch and off to the Y after work.<br><br>
We had winds 60mph+ for several hours yesterday afternoon and last night. My house felt like it was going to leave the ground -- we have a tin roof that lifts and ripples in high winds. Driving over Afton Mtn was quite an adventure last night, because of the winds. (It's a very exposed crest of the Blue Ridge Mtns, and I have to cross it when I go pick up/drop off my kids every other weekend.)<br><br>
Crazy schedule & crazy life continue.

Forgot to share the news last week (or maybe I was just in denial). I got a speeding ticket -- 55/35 -- I had been to the Y after work, went to the grocery story where I literally stood in line for 15 minutes, headed (late) to the elementary school to pick up DS7, & was worried and distracted because I had company coming over in 30 minutes, dinner wasn't started, and the house was a mess...<br><br>
What I can't figure out is how I even picked up that much speed... I was only on the road for about .25 mile between the grocery store and the turnoff for the elementary school.<br><br>
Fortunately, it was the week or so AFTER Virginia revoked the ridiculous $1000 fine it was imposing for in-state speeders. And, also fortunately, the cop didn't write the ticket for reckless driving, just excessive speed. A mere $170 for the insult.
