Sorry to get serious, but sometimes I need to get these thoughts out there so that they stop spinning around in my head. In this case, I also want to preserve some data from a valuable post at Demos from last summer: Black on Black Crime Facts Black-on-Black homicides have decreased by 67% in 20... Continue Reading →
Let the running begin (again!)
I fell off the wagon a bit on my initial racing plan for 2014 - we only did 2 of the 4 Foxy Racing Trail runs. I did have fun doing that new 10k event right in my backyard in September, but I've otherwise been only fitting in runs to keep from becoming a full... Continue Reading →
The Kid is Alright – Albuquerque Weekend
A much needed visit to New Mexico to check in on Alex. Texting & weekend phone calls just weren't enough especially since we dropped him off on Aug 17th and he wont be back in town until Dec 13th. I needed a visual in between those four months! The weekend was just perfect. I landed... Continue Reading →
Salt Lake City – Day 4
Thanks to the previous day's bus tour, we had decided we wanted to head back into the foothills and explore the botanical garden & natural history museum. So Maryland mom arranged for a one day car rental and took off after breakfast to the airport to go retrieve what would truly be our own personal... Continue Reading →
Salt Lake City, Day 3
Day 3 started out just like Day 2 - only this time since we had a plan in mind on how to start off the day, we got ourselves out of the hotel a little bit earlier 🙂 The shuttle dropped us off about 2 blocks or so away from where the bus tour was... Continue Reading →
Salt Lake City, Day 2
Friday morning we met in the hotel eating area for breakfast and 8am.........and didn't move from our spot until after 11:30am!! With no set plans it was just so comfortable and easy to sit and talk the morning away, so we did! We did actually have loose plans - we knew there was a hop... Continue Reading →
Freshman shenanigans
*We interrupt this Salt Lake City set of posts in progress - these photos were too rich not to share right away!* While I was in SLC, Alex's rugby team drove in to Tuscon, Arizona to play U of A in rugby. Both squads have enough players on hand to have both an A and... Continue Reading →
Salt Lake City Day 1 – August Moms 2014
This year there were five of us traveling to Salt lake City for our annual gathering. After having missed the last two years due to high school football, I was thrilled to be able to rejoin the group! I didn't care WHERE it was! As it turns out, Salt Lake City was an excellent choice.... Continue Reading →
Back to racing!
No, not me - my friends 🙂 OK, so I did do a super hilly mainly single track trail 10k a couple of weeks ago that was in a canyon right behind the high school. My ankles might still be sore from all the bracing I had to do to keep my footing going up... Continue Reading →
One month later – an update from our UNM Lobo!
Because he is male, what I have to report is mostly via choppy text messages, but.... One month after drop off and class start, he thinks all of his teachers a great. So much so that even though his math class creates a conflict with rugby, he didn't attempt to switch out because he didn't... Continue Reading →
