Chicago Marathon Runner #24627
Be on the lookout for this powerful and beautiful runner on the streets of Chicago tomorrow.
Bright orange shirt, blue shorts, white hat and a brilliant smile. Show 'em what you got, Jenny.22!
Jen banged out her last long training run before the Chicago Marathon, October 11, today in excellent fashion, posting a time just over 3:50. I was lucky enough to run a few with her between 11-17 and I can attest she is READY! Who's coming to out with me to cheer her on?
LASIK aftermath
Jen's going under
Prep the mind with the quarterly publication Valparaiso Quarterly. A must read for valparisians.
Prep the eyes with iodine. Also a must.
I would likely vomit right as they told me to stay still during this surgery. Just the thought of them cutting my eye -- how did they come up with nonsense?
Stop what you are doing and go buy a tandem bike
Jen and I on the bike. Also prominently featured in this photo: my neighbor Ernie's arm. He was riding on the front handlebars, documenting the entire event for posterity.
Also, a video. It appears as though I am biking drunk here. Cars.

Family dinner, two guys in pink (and neither one is me!)
Then here are the girls, Jen, mom, grandma and Ashley.
Let's get a group shot! Violet and Penny jump in.
I'm a lucky guy.
BBQs are for people who are interested in eating meat
So then we headed over to my parents for yet more meats. The whole posse was there and wouldn't you know it, the kids and I broke off a pretty serious train ride. Admit it, you wish you were the caboose.
I think I could get used to BBQs every weekend.
