my sons ate it all! they ate two pies last night. The one son's girlfriend had two large pieces herself. I am wondering why they are eating so much. (do they skip meals before they get to my house?)

I was thinking of going out and picking more berries today but DH won't have time until wednesday to make another pie.

on a more boring note, i am at work and it IS boring.

CWR--I love it! "Lightweight but strong as an ox!" That's great!

Mimi--they want to be close to you...so they eat all your food. How's that for an explanation? Tell them to knock it off, though, as your internet business is exploding, and those pies need to go out in the mail.

fish--if they start competing for your clothes, I'd be getting nervous. The technician's bad enough.

It's raining here. I just got up, slept about three hours. Planned to get in a run today, but it's either run in the chilly rain outside, or run on the treadmill with everybody else getting off work and going to the Y...so I'm going to do Eric Harr's strength training routine at home, instead. My favorite Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week has a 40 minute routine that can be done at home or in the gym. I had let that slip in my quest for more miles, more miles in training. A rainy evening is a good time to get back in balance with the core/strength stuff.

Fish - I just think of that Tom Petty song when I think about your job thing" "The waiting is the hardest part...."

I am in the world's most dull deposition (waiting for my chance to ask some questions. Yawn.) At least it is in my office, and I have my wireless. And my diet pepsi.

Running/walking hurts by the way!! I am officially training for this silly marathon and did a 15 miler Saturday (in 3 hours - I was pleased, since I do mostly walk). That was my first official training run/walk - nothing like baptism by fire. Then we did a 10k trail run yesterday. I could not believe the amount of vertical. It was almost like a scramble at times. Did that in 1 1/2 hours, again not too bad. My friend would have finished faster (she will ALWAYS climb faster than me apparently, bike or running).

But my legs feel more sore than after ANY double I ever did - or even the 600k. After the 15 miler, I got into the car and almost cried because it hurt so much. (The thought of the Sharffenberger factory was the only thing that got me home.)

It's not like anything is INJURED (believe me, I have run 3 marathons and I know injury.) It's just soreness from my muscles not really being used to this yet. It will get better.

Yesterday our cat had a slug on his back. It's a perfect metaphor for his life. He is so fat and slow that a slug can climb up on him. He had slug slime trails all over his fur.

Duh!!

[Nanci]

That's scary- they must have mistaken him for rotting vegetation! I need to get a picture of Fagalo and his slugs, but I'm sure that violates his policy of I can never look at him or he has to run away...

I knew it had to be that picture!

I want blackberry pie, too! And the image of slug slime trails all over the back of a fat cat is hilarious. And ... uh...

da da da daaaaaaaa...... drumroll...... (sorry about the "..." Nanci - I can't help it today)

It's unofficial! I got the job! I will get official notification in the next week or so which will come from the personnel office (gov't stuff). I talked with my future boss today. Wahoo! Yippee! We will celebrate in SF!

Now the craziness really begins!
