[Better than yesterday]

<p>While I'm not convinced Spring is right around the corner, I do feel like we're over the hump.  I have to apologize for not being right on top of the weeklys - my daughter and two of my sons had birthdays this past week and spare time has been in short supply. 4 Teenagers in the house now.  Pray for me. <span><img alt="icon_compress.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_compress.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>

<p>Thanks BTY. As I like to say, stinks that life gets in the way of living it sometimes, but that's just the way it is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still battling with this hamstring-related issue, and now have a cold on top of things, as well as lousy sleep and the heat-headaches again. Fun, fun, fun!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We leave for Aruba on Friday, hopefully the change in climate will knock this cold out of me pronto.</p>
