Well, I would like to take credit for single handedly taking care of my wife during the last week, but the truth is, we had more folks helping out then imaginable. From coming to visit her so I could get a few moments out doors without leaving her, alone to some amazing home cooking from [...]
Well, my care for Stefanie has not led to any malnutrition lawsuits just yet so that is good. My sister Sally came by today with some yummy stuff though to offset my pasta, soup, jello and eggo waffle provisions that Stef has endured.
The lovely wife is doing well. We went outsite for a couple of [...]
Talk about putting my whimpering ass to shame. Lovely wife is simply amazing.
Stefanie is now home and sleeping. Good medication, and one tough girl, and a great surgery. Doctors said everything has gone very very well. The removed growth was benign but we won’t know what it was for a week or so after [...]
Tommorrow, the lovely wife goes under the lovely knife to have half her thyroid taken out. While her attitude is wonderful and I know everything will be fine, the next few days could be tricky for her. If you get a chance to think some positive thoughts for her, we’ll both be sure to receive [...]

I enjoy visiting Steve, Karen, and all of Stef’s siblings [...]
Back in high school, I used to attend a running camp every summer. We would scale mountains, swim in rivers, eat beef stew and get dirty. I would spend 8 days in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at elevation training and socializing with other athletes who cared about running hard and fast. And we would do [...]

My training is going well. Each lunch break I consider a workout instead of a tv break. Both have their merits, but its nice to get the workout done so in the evening I can spend it surfing or with Stefanie. Yesterday, I trecked up to my old high school, Point Loma, and went for [...]
