Happy Father's Day

We have had a wonderful day today in Santa Fe. We started out by eating at Harry's and then doing all things on the Plaza in Santa Fe. Only wish Morgan could have been with us. We make our way to her in a couple of weeks.


Here is an earlier post that I did for my dad and with the exception of me being a little older, this still rings true.

5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 30

Interesting pattern of numbers in the title. I always disliked those problems in math where you had to figure out the pattern. I was and still am terrible at those things. You look at the pattern and figure out the next set of numbers. I am terrible at those problems.

So what do these numbers have in common?
5 - a couple of weeks ago my dr. let me start running 5 min. easing into it
8 - I got to move to 8 min/day running
10 - I got to move to 10 min/day running
12 - you picking up the pattern yet?
15 - two days in a row of running 15 continuous min w/ no pain (yesterday and today)

I have traveled quite a bit this week. I flew to KC on Tuesday after work, spent the night with my dad and headed to Bolivar for FUGE. Our first week of camp at my alma mater and it went great. Wonderful team lead by Brady. Was great to be back on campus after 25 years and  I got to stay with my mother-in-law. We had a great time together and got a little painting done along with a little sink drain repair.

We laughed together and even cried a little together this morning. We watched some old video of Shelbi as a baby (she will be 21 next month) and as a surprise my mom was on the video as well as Bernard, my father-in-law. We lost both of them in the past 3.5 years and it was the first time I had seen either of them on video since their passing. Very touching and tough at the same time, but a real blessing.

I am back in KC with my dad, hanging out this weekend and then on to further travels.

30 - you thought I had forgotten that number probably. Not so. I am attending a 30th high school reunion tomorrow night. How in the world has it already been 30 years since I graduated high school? Crazy.
