Valerie Bertinelli, who will be turning 50 (I am a fan) ran the Boston Marathon, for the first time. I do believe that if she can do that, then I can run a measly 5k by Labor Day!
She ran her first ever marathon in 2009!

With that, I am lacing up my choos and will see how far I go today

Valerie Bertinelli is 50?!! Boy, do I feel old...

Thanks guys. I took a whole bunch more of random people here if you fancy looking at the joy/pain/strain/relief on the faces of runners:

They made those poor Army guys run with full packs...

Worry, worry. What to do.

When we went to Oregon last year, we both took our camera gear in a Tamrac Adventure 10 backpack. In addition I carried a Think Tank Urban Disguise 50 bag with some additional lenses in it. Both bags have laptop space and this year I have a netbook which will lighten the load just that much more. I'm thinking I might leave the 100-400 at home this year because it didn't get used until the last day and that was by Heather. I left the tripod at home and didn't miss it at all.

Sometimes real life is more entertaining than the best comedians. I just returned from Menard's, our hardware store and just have to share. I was over by the paint department and this guy was just ranting at the poor sales kid. Seems he bought some camouflage paint, sprayed his truck and was mightily upset that it was all one color and not camouflaged. The poor sales kid was trying to explain that there is a set of paints and used together would give you the camo effect, but he was not having any of it. He kept screaming at the kid that the can says camouflage paint and gosh darn it, he expected it to come out camo.

Scary; they vote and they breed...

If you're ever looking at something I've drawn, and there's a squiggly line there that shouldn't be there, that's because Kona decided to bump my elbow.

Wade got all the rock spread this afternoon while I was at meetings.

He said that Cisco laid on the top of the pile and watched the whole time. Wade shoveled gravel out from under him, and the pile just got smaller and smaller, with Cisco still on the top of it.

That sounds like him.

DEB, I really really liked your flower shots today.

Secretly thinks anyone who like burnt marshmallows is not patient enough to roast them proper.

I'm faced with a big decision.

I just use two backpacks, one with most of the camera gear I bring, and the other with the laptop and maybe a lens or two. Only once did I ever get a hassle at all, and that was because my camera pack was overweight. I just put a few pieces in my pockets until I got past the weigh-in.

I have been know to set in on these situations to set a jerk like that straight. It may not sway his thinking at all, but at least the clerk gets to at least know someone is on his side. When I worked out of town a lot years ago, one guy that sometimes worked with us was such a pain in the ass to go out to eat with. He complained all the time if something was not just perfect to him, whether it was the service, the food, or even the chair he sat in. We all refused to go out with him since he would not curb this stupid behaviour. It was downright embarrassing for us, let alone how the poor servers felt.

Jim: How goes the Palsy? I know we kid a lot, but there's always that concern for you.

About Last Night: Very reminiscent of old times. It was nice.

I think there is a hint of improvement, I can lift the left corner of my mouth just a millimeter or two, but it is better then nothing at all like yesterday.

So then, you say you enjoyed the harassment that your wife and daughter put me through. You're just as bad as them (well, almost0.
