Today marked the second annual Run on the Wild Side 5K Race. One of our friends, Marissa, works out at Lake Meyer and started it up last year. It’s a great course – all trails, beautiful scenery (most of the course overlooks the lake), and, oh yeah, some kick ass…

My mom is going in for surgery next week to repair a fracture in her leg. The doctors are going to remove a portion of the bone and replace it with an iron rod. They’ll also put a bit of ‘cadaver dust’ in there to help the bone and rod…

1. Remember my quest for a bamboo mat to make sushi? Yeah, the local Co-Op just started carrying them. *shakes fist* 2. I have thwarted the cat and can now read in peace. Long live the shoebox!
