Twins make the playoffs, and Callie makes her move to the Couch!

Mom, Dad, and Al came over last night for the first game in a post season series between the MN Twins and the Yankies. Luckily the food was good because the game turned out pooey. The Twins lost, but Callie couldn't care less. She was elated due to her couch-time with Grandma!!

SDSU Classic

I got to do the cross country thing again last weekend on a smaller scale but equally exciting because we were at the home place! Edgebrook saw some impressive performances on that gorgeous fall day.







The team and Super-Rod!


This cross country meet and Dad a something in common . . . they're both Classics!! :) Dad turned 50 today. Happy Birthday!!


Tellin' fishin' stories; looks like Joe was out of luck!



Later in the day we enjoyed a walk through a beautiful campus!


What a cutie-patootie! :) (If Joe is reading this, what I really mean is, This guy is smokin'!)

GO JACKS!

Sometimes, when talking to my co-workers and friends, I get the feeling that I'm a part of a small minority that really enjoy running. That was absolutely not the case at the Roy Griak Invitational cross country meet. A couple weeks ago, I went with my family to Minneapolis to watch my little sister and her fellow Jackrabbits run, and I had something like an "Ah-ha" moment. Amongst enthusiastic fans, I watched thousands of runners compete on a greuling cross country course, and most of them had a smile on after the race. Those athletes were awesome to watch (Danielle included!). I think I was most impressed with the massive number of people in attendance who all shared a common interest. I got the sense that thus far I've only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to running and racing . . . baby, I like it!!

True Jacks fans!

Yep, she's a stud!
