Her daycare had a ballot box when we first walked in, and she had to pick either the elephant or donkey ballot and put it in the box.  So cute!  And I thought I was being clever this morning with her breakfast--I offered her the red or blue Nutri-grain bar.  I can tell you she was consistent with her voting ( Read more... )

The Army 10-Miler is Sunday morning.

I am running it for myself, of course, as part of my training...and for Col K, who can't be there this year...and for all those who serve our country....

If you'd like to hang out with the crowds and see 26,000 of us wearing bibs run by (I'll be in the 2nd start wave), the race starts at the west side of the ( Read more... )
