Monday
- 7 mile run w/Joe. Layoff rumors already.
- Lilly's Abrakadoodle Art Class. We walked up to Franklin Elementary (actually ran the whole way there as Lilly wanted to show she could run a long way) for art class. It was a chilly walk with the wind. The teacher read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and then all the kids made caterpillars. Here's Lilly's:
Tuesday
- The sun came up:
- Ran 8 at lunch w/Eric and Brian C.
- Came home and played with the neighbor kids in the basement. Played "monster" and Hi-ho Cherrio.
- Holly went to spin class and Lilly and I went to Target. "It's like a Christmas world!"
Wednesday
- Reading buddy.
- Dr. Appointment to have a mole looked at. He recommended removing it.
- Lilly swim class. I swam in the lap pool while she had her lesson. I peeked at her a few times and gave her a thumbs up. Her and Skyler (the other little girl) have a blast together.
Thursday
- Lilly was up coughing last night again.
- Ran 7 miles w/Joe, Todd, Eric and Nelson. Todd is a "cockeyed optimist". Joe, not so much.
- Played tag and "I AM A RO-BOT" with Lilly before dinner.
- I went to spin at the shop. Talked with Andy at Moonrock afterwards. Sounds like he's got a bead on fundraising for RAAM '09.
- More Lilly coughing. Just when we were thinking she was doing well this winter so far.
Friday
- 8 mile run w/Todd & Eric
- Played hula-hoops with Lilly's class after work.
- Home and then to Ruby Tuesday for dinner.
- Tag w/Lilly.
- Bath time. For Lilly and Boo.
Saturday
- Rode in the Ramsey parking ramp with Neil for 1.5 hrs. At first I thought we'd bag it 15 minutes into the ride. But I warmed up and we fell into a rhythm taking the corners where we could have a great conversation. Coffee afterwards. The coffee people had a, "good for you guys" attitude towards us riding in the ramp. That or, "just smile politely at the crazy people."
- Home in time to winterize the mower and weedeater before Holly and Lilly were back for the store.
- After lunch we all headed out to look at elliptical machines. Lilly tried every machine in the store.
- 5 mile run (Mercy Hospital) with Boo.
- Holly and Lilly watched a movie of short Disney stories. Monsters Inc. was one and Jack Jack from The Incredibles. Lilly was scared because Jack Jack had the super power to turn into a "baby on fire".
- I received a letter ordering me to report for jurry duty in US District Court on December 1st. Great.
- Buffalo chicken pizza.
- Holly, Madonna and Erika rode for two hours in the basement watching movies and chatting.
Sunday
- Woke up early and ran to the wooded trails by the Library. Got lost for a little bit on the trails. (~10 miles / 1:15)
- Another "Left Behind" type message at church. There was a genuine moment though.
- Holly and Lilly went to see Madagascar 2.
- I hung the Christmas lights:
- Washed and waxed the 4Runner.
- Talked to the neighbor Jeff about taking out the tree that hangs over the river. He's cool with it - that's nice of him.
- Played outside with the neighbor kids. At one point I was a prisoner in the dog run. They were all turned the other way talking to Holly and I scaled the fence and was just standing there. They all did a double take when they realized I was on the opposite side of the fence.
- More working from home.
- Another great weekend.
