Running

I've signed myself up for the Monument Avenue 1oK on 31st March. The course is about as flat as possible, so shouldn't be too much trouble. Hopefully can get a sub-hour time. Training will be tough as it's just turned cold (finally), but I can always do some stuff on the treadmills too. Wish me luck!

BodyCombat

Hey dudes and dudettes. I went to a class at the gym this afternoon called 'BodyCombat' with Kyle. Me, him and 30 girls punching and kicking thin air for an hour. We looked ridiculous, but I'll tell you it was a good work out. I hurt. A lot. Although admittedly I was pumping iron yesterday... There are no pictures, which is a good thing, from my point of view.

Happy New Year

We had a party at our house with silly hats, beads and banners.
We drank Champagne once Kristal got it open - and I discovered that the Champagne they drink over here is nasty as all hell.Jennifer and Brian were there.
So were Chris and Kaitlin - here seen limbering up for Twister.
And Laura and her friend Kaitlin totally kicked our asses at '90s Edition Trivial Pursuit.

Pat McGee Band


Chris, Kaitlin, Kristal and I went to see the Pat McGee Band at the Canal Club downtown on Saturday night. It was a tribute gig for their drummer who recently passed away. The guy gave drumming lessons, so several of his pupils were invited to play the drums during the set. Great music. And I got lots of compliments on my hair from various punks, who all complained that their girlfriends wouldn't let them do it!!

After we went to Sheetz, which is a gas station that serves food as well. This country is weird. I had a burger. It was tasty. Yum. Weird can be good I guess/

Red is the New Blonde

Words are not required. In any case there is no explanation for this level of idiocy.
