Vacation


Truckee, CA.
I am surprised at the lack of snow here. There have been plenty of recent storms but the snow level has been around 7,000 feet. Luckily Northstar is above that. Oh well, big storm coming tomorrow so we should get dumped on for next week :)

Joanne did 10 miles today so I tagged along for 4 and then headed straight to the jacuzzi. That was enough for me today. Kendra did 4 miles as well.

I almost forgot... Shane beat me at chess yesterday.

Pray for snow!

Cottage Cheese, ugh!


Huntington Beach, Summer 1984...

There was almost no wind and the surf was running about 3 feet. Excited as I ran into the Liquor store on PCH, I had visions of workable lefts running through my head. As usual I would fuel up with my standard fare of chocolate milk and 2 packs of mini chocolate donuts. After making my purchase I quickly bolted out the door ready to go! Since there was no time to waste I popped open my milk and took a big chug while crossing the street. Imagine my surprise when a lump of cottage cheese hit the back of my throat! As I gagged to the enjoyment of the drivers waiting at the light I glanced at the expiration date which, of course, was about a week ago...

A few minutes later I was in the water and all was right in the world.
