Good heavens, 67% humidity!?! I don't know how you can take it, at least in Utah it's a dry heat.

Thanks guys!

It's been quite crazy around here lately. Not much time for blogging. Getting ready to go on vacation is always a busy time at work...so much to do, so little time. Oh..and I have a marathon to run in just over a week!!! :)

GOOD LUCK with all the preparation bringing the fam on vacation with a marathon in the middle. I can't wait to meet Beth and your children!

I'm in Utah..with the family. Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, and the Grand Canyon, so far this week. Didn't have time to go through Zion (wanted to drive through, but they wouldn't let traffic through between 9AM and 4PM). Next up, UVM...O'dark thirty!
