wow, i have got to stop traveling. I go out of town for a few days and have to spend hours catching up on TD. okay, maybe I just need to learn to read faster.

trying to acknowledge those who contributed to the past 8 pages:

BMo3 - sorry your mother is being ridiculous. family - eeckkk your son is a cutie - how old did he turn? I didn't realize you also had twin boys - I have as well - they are 6.

kit - sorry the job is sucking so badly, and I hope one of these interviews comes through for you soon.

Lise, awesome about your race - great race report. Southern guy sounds interesting - I can't wait for mwbr (or, i guess for mtbr)

Nanci, not sure what to say about the racism. It is aweful to know it is out there, but in some ways, more aweful if people who oppose it are not aware that it is out there and therefore can do nothing to combat it.

I spent the weekend in Canada with dh and his family visiting their extended family. My dh's second cousin's husband took us winetasting one day. Based upon nanci's ravings I tasted and purchased some ice wine. It is yummy. Now, i just have to wait for the appropriate evening to open it.
