"Happy Birthday"

Oh to be nineteen again. Happy Birthday Amanda. How does the song go? "I wish I knew then, what I know now, when I was younger "

Not much to report today. Claudette and I went to the trails and did 12 kms. That's a tough workout but the old girl did ok. I wrenched my ankle and my back and still enjoyed it. It was great to run with my wife again, something we haven't done in a while.

Long ride day tomorrow so I need to get a good rest. I have a feeling that it may be out in the RV since there's a pretty busy birthday party going on downstairs which I suspect is gonna last quite past my bedtime. It's ok though. Of all the things about Adrian that Im proud of one of the most significant is the kind of people he hangs around with. I can honestly say that I have never met one of his friends I didn't like. That's quite a statement eh? But they are nineteen and the nosie level is gradually starting to build. Party on!!

The only other commentary I offer tonite is on the topic of my big sister. Even though I believe Cory is indeed pretty smart, that she is a gifted raconteur, that generally she can spell the english language well, and furthermore that she will indeed go to heaven. She does however have one opportunity for growth and that lies in the fact that the subleties are entirely and completely wasted on her.

I wish to dedicate day 261 to Amandas mom who must have done a whole lot of things right.
