Highlights
Let's sum up the past ten days with one post. Here we go!
Friday, March 11: I made the mistake of leaving a pen in my pocket. Let's just say that our weekend started off with an inky washer and dryer. Thanks to some quick work involving nail polish remover, hairspray, Shout, and various other chemicals, we kept the clothes casualties to a minimum.
Saturday, March 12: We went shopping at various establishments to replace some of the items damaged / destroyed in the previous night's fiasco. I'm happy to report that I'm now a 34 waist. :)
By the way -- I'm not all that bitter or upset about accidentally washing a pen. It really put things in perspective for me -- there are a lot of people who have to deal with things much worse than getting blue ink off clothing. Jenelle and I are truly blessed, and I hope I never forget that.
Monday, March 14: Happy Birthday, Ashby!
Tuesday, March 15: Congratulations are in order for Jamie and Janet, one of the married couples in the small group Bible study we attend. They had their first child on Tuesday evening -- a son, John Robert, weighing in at just over eight pounds.
Wednesday, March 16: Happy Birthday, Aunt Liz!
Friday, March 18: We saw Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Milwaukee Theatre. We both enjoyed it more than the presentation of The King and I (featuring Stefanie Powers) that we attended in February. I think I enjoyed it more because we rented some opera glasses / binoculars to get a close-up view AND the person in the lead role was less than 60 years old. :)
Sunday, March 20: I ran nine miles this morning at an average pace of 09:45 / mile. I am continuing to train for a marathon in the fall, which will most likely be the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon on October 2. If I can average the same pace, I'll finish in less than 4.5 hours, which would be a tremendous accomplishment for me. I've got another six months to train, so that goal is within reach!
