Hope the dentist visit went ok. I HATE going to the dentist.

No biggie at the dentist..just replacing a defective crown. I really need to do something interesting...my blog is getting boring!!! :)

What are you talking about we have had great conversations on your blog...most recently about the slip and slide remember!

Nice run!

Is the pic. preview of what's coming up with El Scorcho? You're still running that, right?

From MarcE on Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 17:35:34 from 24.155.140.8

The picture -- I took that of myself in the hot tub in Steamboat, overlooking that town. It's about the only close-up of my face that I have.

Smooth - It's been hot here in Texas, lately. I'm guessing that a shirt will not be necessary during El Scorcho. (I'm glad it will be dark..that's all I'm saying)
