Where the hell have I been?

I’m not sure what is going on here, but I’m home and summer has kicked into full swing.

Just a few updates due to shlocky blogging:

The best parts of the San Fran trip where: 1.  Trying to get rush seats to Wicked and seeing it.  2.  Seeing a naked bike race.  3.  Swimming the Bay and not getting eaten by sharks.  4.  Walking the Golden Gate and watching the Escape from Alcatraz Tri on my birthday.  5.  And then there was just hang’n with my girl Ellen.  It was a GREAT trip.

This past weekend was the first triathlon of the season.  It was a little short course, the Lake Minnetonka Tri. Due to the trip I was not sure how my sloth like behavior was going to affect my performance.  Somehow, the I’m just going to do the best I can and have fun, seemed to pay off.

I ended up 15th out of all the woman and according to the results 5th in my age group.  But when it came time to give out awards, we HAD to stay because T-odd finished third in his age group, to my surprise they called my name and handed me a third place trophy.

To the dismay of all my kids I have emailed the race director to ask him what gives and who the trophy really belongs to.  So, I’ll keep ya posted.

Father’s Day was good.  I bought books this year for the dad’s.  I decided on The Last Lecture for my dad.  When I brought it home, Adam told me I might want to rethink that gift, the author just died.  I sometimes do have the tendency to circle a little too close to the sun.  So Adam was kind enough to run out for a couple cigars.

And to end…I gave PJ a new pair of Crocs (for no reason, which rarely happens at our house) and when she put them on I asked her how they were.  Her response, “They are a little too small and a little too big…they are perfect.”

Oh and our AC is not working.

And it is now 11:00 and I am drinking  my second beer to keep me cool, which will not go well for my run at 5:30 in the morning due to sweating all night.  Certain deydration.

Let’s here it for summer!
