It has been awhile since I tried to catch up with this blog. Meanwhile, a lot has happened and it has been mostly good. I have been traveling a bit and completed the USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run on September 19, 2009. My team consisted of Perry Chapman and his son Devin, and Ian Yates. Susan Yates had her own team of 4 women. We had a blast, as usual.

John has taken up Karate and tested for his yellow belt last Thursday (September 1, 2009). We are pretty sure he passed, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow.

I saw a great bumper sticker this week:
Wag More, Bark Less
John is in the Tiger Cub Scouts now. He is loving it and we recently with the a Tiger Cub Safari at the local zoo where we had a great time. He is selling popcorn to help fund his troop. If you wish to help,
you can buy online and he will get credit for the sale.
