Good morning! Happy birthday P-C! I'm in a better mood, due to the sun being out and having dragged my ass to fencing last night. Which was fun and got me all exercise-y and adreneline-y and focused me on stuff that was not overwhelming and dispairing.

Fencing: it's good for ya! (although I have to be careful with over-lunging, 'cause my knee's a little achey)

I think the US Fencing Association just found its new ad campaign.

Oh, Nora! Glad to hear that!

So, Vortex is in her new house! I hope everything settles into its proper place quickly.

P-C, Happy Birthday! Is this PFWife the accountant? I hope she's cool and funny and interesting.

Yay, Nora! I went to yoga last night and it felt great. Not so great: on the train ride home my car was invaded by a post-practice high school football team. Conclusion: Teen-age boys are very stinky. I moved to another car.

On Monday I am going to sign up for next year's Philly Triathlon.

What distance, d? What does the water portion look like? I always think about doing another one, but for some reason, every year I keep getting older and lazier.

Situation ~ma, omnis! Have you been to Houston? It's, um. . . not Austin.

Everyone wave and send a little dermatology ~ma to Sox! She is reading but sans password to log in.

Happy Birthday, P-C!

Happy birthday P-C!

Oof. Health(ier) Skin Ma, Sox! Back in Baltimore for procedures, then?

Sparky, it's a sprint distance. The water portion is in the Schuylkill River, which my friend said last year was clean (and much more fun than the lake she did for her second one that was full of algae). Here's the link for the race organizers [link] You'll have to click on the Philly icon to get to last year's race info. Next year the date will be July 6. It's Women Only, which appeals to me.

P-C, I hope your prospective wife is fun and understands the real you. Did you send her your version of your bio sheet? Anyway, best of luck to you.

Vortex, moving-ma to you. I know it's an unfun chore. But on the plus side you won't need to move again for a while because House Of Your Own!

I finally got some sleep and now I am awake and am watching Angel's You're Welcome with Cordy and her cleavage. Next up is Smile Time.

Well, d, I was thiiiiiis close to saying I'd do the race, too, but we are likely to be in Seattle that weekend next year. Whew! A near miss for me and real exercise!

Oh, bummer! I mean, it would have been fun to schlep around in the middle of the night to get to the transition area together! But yeah, a near miss for real exercise might be a good thing. Still, I'm going to do it just to say I can. When I replied to my friend's email she said we're going to have to find a new tri sherpa to carry our stuff at 4 am.

I forgot to wish omnis potential prospect email ma.
