Memories... And Things That Go Boom!

This weekend was a Life Flight weekend. My father was one of the original flight nurses there, and flew there for 19 years (up to his untimely death). Since he was there before I was born, and died when I was 16, I spent my childhood at the Life Flight offices. It was great seeing people from my childhood, but very sad that my father wasn't there to share in the celebrations.

So, Friday night was a big banquet and then yesterday was a family picnic. Both were fun, but the best part about the weekend was the fact that my godfather from Louisiana came in. He is kind of a subsistute father for me - he taught me how to drive, he taught me how to shoot, he was there for me when I needed him in college, he approves (or disapproves) of the men in my life. It was great spending time with him.

Unfortunately, that meant late nights and no room for running, since it's so hot that I have to run early in the morning (and we all went to breakfast this morning before Bill and another family friend, Barb, left town).

So, when will I run again? I don't know. I'm going to try to go 4 a day three times this week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)... unless it rains, and then 10 Saturday. I cannot wait until this heat stops!

I did go to the gun show today at GRB, which was my first. I had a good time and can't wait until the next one!

Back to school tomorrow...

Cheers!
