Ski Trip W/Thomas

I brought my cameras just to take a few pictures. However, it evolved into this little "Warren Miller" ski video.
More fun stuff.

Tom's 1st Hockey Goal

This was my 1 st. "video" using my new Mac and it remains one of my favorite for obvious reasons. Thomas wasmaybe 6 at the time and pestered us to let him play ice hockey. He attended a 1 week, ice hockey summer camp with the "playoff game" held on Friday @ 12:00 when JoAnne & I both skipped lunch and attended.

I searched the internet to learn how to transfer VHS onto disk & then rip it into the computer's iMovie program. I then added sound effects and it worked. I am now using new online software that eliminates the "evaluation copy" label, however, I have yet to do over this movie.



More fun stuff.

Stingray City in the Grand Cayman Islands

One more thing to cross off my "bucket list".

Zip Line In Labadee, Haiti

Wild windy ride. Tropical storm blew bye 2 days earlier and the remnants limited the # of riders due to wind. The stopping was the hardest part.

ATV in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Fun stuff with Marty, Liz, Joe & Kim.

Wave Rider & the Banged Up Foot


In early November, my running was shut down. I somehow banged my foot while attempting the Wave Rider on our Royal Caribbean, Western Caribbean cruise. I was limping throughout the cruise & only now can I say I'm 98% better. All I can say is "the kids make it look so easy".

2009 YTD Running

2009 Running Summary

My running has basically shut down right after the Cow Harbor 10K run & the Entemann's Half Marathon. I wasn't planning on running the half marathon, only the 10K portion. However, the rain stopped as the starting gun went off & at the 10K/marathon split I decided "why not get my full money's worth". Anyway, I should have committed myself earlier as with 3 miles to go I saw I had a chance to do a half marathon PR @ under 2 hours. Unfortunately I ran @ 2:01:20. I guess that will be a New Years resolution for me.
