Hi All - what's up with you? What good stuff is going on? I love reading it every week so post it up! Doesn't have to be major (those are good too) - don't they say it's the little things in life?

Well, let's see ...

- my mom is recovering well - she had chemotherapy all this summer  - and sound more and more like herself!

- I am still enjoying relative down time after my ironman in August and it's nice to go out for a run or ride with no goal or 'have to do's' - just enjoying time out.

- I love September weather. Although the days are shorter and cooler the air is so crisp - there's just something about it!

Sounds more like a code phrase for a hot, schweaty sexxeh night with the hubby to me.

* Went on a nice hike with Lisa on my birthday Wednesday.

* Only worked 3 days this week.

* The extended summer weather has been WONDERFUL! (though it rained last night and is still cloudy today)

The cloud in the silver lining is that I couldn't eat yesterday, and I can't today until after the colonoscopy at 1:15... But I got another day off!

  1. At the gym a mother was struggling with three toddlers and a baby that needed a diaper change.  And I mean STRUGGLING.  So I asked her if I could help by changing the diaper while she took care of the other kids' needs.  The relief on her face was all the thanks I needed.
  2. The Giants won big last night.
  3. My kids went to Target and filled up four large paper bags of canned/dry goods to donate to our local soup kitchen.
  4. My son got back his 2nd grade AP test scores and got perfect 100's on all four.  My son?!  Kyle?!  Who knew?!
  5. Monday was Rosh Hashana and I blew da roof off dat house with my shofar!
  6. Oh and...  After Rosh Hashana service I went to my Oncologist...  FORMER Oncologist!  "You're done with me.  Looking good.  No more semi-annual scans needed or appointments with me.  Just keep up your quarterly ENT visits, but as far as Oncology is concerned.  We're done.  You are CANCER FREE!!!

Finally, finally, FINALLY some good news!

The latest immigration lawyer that we talked to says that I don't have to get shipped back to Canadia!  In his opinion, it's a no brainer and won't really be a problem at all - and once we have all the stuff needed for the paperwork, I could have my Green Card within about 5 months.  

The only snags are that I won't be able to go home for Christmas to see the family, and it's going to cost about $4,000.  But I don't care!  I get to stay with in the US with Tony!  :D

Just finished reading final drafts of the stories my students wrote and they are making a lot of progress in writing already! It's amazing when you see they're actually learning what you're trying to teach. (For non-teacher triathletes....it's like training for a race many months away. There's a lot of patient repetition, dutiful slogging, and wondering if you're really getting anywhere sometimes!)

I did two workouts this weekend (indoor bricks) without injuring anything else or aggravating current injuries (long saga). Now if I can just get to the point where I can put on my socks without pain....On the plus side, I live in the tropics so I only need socks for running.

I actually have time to sit around bored on the couch and respond to stuff like this.

I so love this thread. Congrats to those cancer free and traveling to cool places. For me

- My sophomore in high school daughter is running for class president. Unlikely she'll win but that she's putting herself out there is huge.

- My senior in high school daughter is getting her college applications in order. Its great to see her making solid choices. Unaided...

- I run a baseball league here in Madrid and we just got confirmation that a friend of mine Jeremy Guthrie who pitches for the Royals is coming out here to do a clinic in October.

- I'm getting a new mountain bike today, and a new bed tomorrow.

- The workouts go well, the wine is good, and the weather is great....
