A Photo A Day: April 2007

April 29, 2007

Question. Is suicide always a selfish act? Students and staff held a memorial for the former city school vice principal and senior class adviser who killed himself last week. He had a "bad illness" that he had fought for years... cancer? But still, to leave a son who is a senior, a wife, and students who you had told to stay the course and rise above life's challenges.
Ironman training update. 12 weeks to go. 9.65 hours training last week. 16 miles running, 88.5 miles on the bike and 5050 yards swimming. I am starting to feel better.

Shapes, sometimes it is about shapes...

At least it isn't bottled water, and do you think the cats missed us? If we sit down, all five come over for a visit.

Nor'easter of the century was mostly slush for us...

We are home, snowing and spring is taking a major dip!

Not a sight I am used to, a line of vehicles passing me, but the trailer kept me at 65 mph. The fog as we eat dinner in West Virginia.

5 days later, we are still hiding and searching for Easter Eggs. At least it is sunny and warm in South Carolina.

First try with new under-water camera housing in Lake Murray.

A chance to ride in sunny North Carolina. My "sick" buddy had tights, skull cap, jacket and toe booties. I did borrow a long sleeve jersey for the 58 degree ride.

Bunny loot.

Start of Spring Break. Drove through 10 hours of come and go white out snow. This is in southern West Virginia. Also picked up the cap seen on the back of the truck in Pittsburg.

April 6, 2007

More snow this morning.

April 5, 2007

I kept hitting my head on this as I packed the truck tonight. Then I realized what it is... dreaming of our trip to the Carolinas, sun, warmth and long bike rides ;)

April 4, 2007

Wow, 41. Sign is from my new favorite BBQ place (thanks for lunch Shawn) mustard sauce, sweet tea and collards. Sam seems to be making sure I don't spit on the cake. Everyone asked me... Doing anything special for your birthday? I did: swam 41 lengths of the pool, ran 4.1 miles and biked on the wind trainer for 41 minutes.
