“Last week was the Olympic Trials in Eugene.”
Hey All. I’m back. Took a couple weeks off to do some fun stuff and focus on Taking Midway. Traveled to Las Vegas for a weekend with the neighbors. I’m not a travel-with-the-neighbors kind of guy but Callie and I had a blast. Last week was the Olympic Trials in Eugene. Also, a wonderful time with my brethren at the USA Track and Field Foundation.
But as you all know, this is the start of cross country season. The teams look good and are getting after it. Happy to report that I’m getting after it, too. Put on a few extra stress pounds that I need to manage, thus I’m back into running. Always afraid I’m going to overdo it and require total knee replacement, but the option is cycling and swimming, in which I only have a passing interest. Can’t swim on a trail.
I realized the other day that there are more books about Midway than almost any other battle in World War II. I’m happy to report that my spin is very unconventional. As always, I am more than happy to take a poke at the traditional staid historians.
Oh, and I’m thinking of running for mayor. Just a thought. Rancho needs some new blood. I’d have to put on a tie and attend grand openings and school plays but it’s worth a thought. I would be a most unconventional mayor. Like I said, just a thought.
Party on.
