Well, a lot’s happened since I’ve posted a blog entry, when I last left
you off, Susan and I were getting ready for the Loons 2nd Annual 5K
Pennant Run/Walk. Getting our forms in early not only got us a sweet new
t-shirt, but lawn seats to the game later that day. We both changed our
entries to be walks and it was a lot of fun. Susan’s a little speed-walker
and finished a few minutes before I did, of course I was working off a
slight unicycle accident I had a couple days before. You can see our
results over here. Once I get the entry forms in, we’ll be doing another
race June 7 (maybe I’ll even run this one!) The day of the race was pretty
sunny and warm (especially to be walking ~3.3 miles), but that night it
got pretty cold. Susan and I were wrapped up in the blanket, and even
though it was cold out, the stadium was out of hot chocolate, again! 🙁 We
also had tickets to the game on Sunday and that game went be so fast, and
the Loons actually won! We got a package this year and have another game
coming up on Thursday.

We’ve replaced a member in our fleet. Susan found an awesome deal on a
Grand Prix and sold her car within a week! It’s a 2007 silver Grand Prix
with low miles and Susan even managed to negotiate a lower price!
Unfortunately, the car was at K.I. Sawyer Airforce Base (way up north!)
Luckily Susan’s folks were nice enough to meet us at the bridge last
weekend to pick it up (thanks Jim and Fay!) It was nice, we had lunch with
both Susan’s grandma’s and her folks. Cedar Point will have to wait a
couple more days (it opened May 10) Speaking of Cedar Point, we found out
the other day, with our Season Passes we get to go in the park an hour
early and go on a handful of rides (including Maverick, Millenium Force,
and a couple other sweet rides!)

My job’s still going great, we’re going onsite soon to test the software
I’ve been developing over the past few weeks and get some feedback from an
actual customer! Susan’s dilemma at her job seems to be getting better
each day (she has a problem even a Ph D chemist can’t solve!) My lunch
break is slowly coming to an end, and that’s about all I can think of for
now…
