    Piper has been doing much much better, over the last couple of days. Thursday night Kelly and Kate got here. So they went with Reagan and hung out with Piper pretty much all morning. They got some pretty nice pictures of the little cousins hanging out. It was a lucky thing that they were able…

    My knees have really been hurting lately, which has been a bit of a deterrent from running. So I have been trying to eat a little bit more health consciously. In doing so, I learned that Chile exports a lot of apples to the US. Anyway I totally blew it this afternoon. I ate half…

    Reagan’s sister, Kelly is coming to visit us tonight. We are pretty excited about it. It will be my first time to meet our new niece Kate. Reagan was able to go to Atlanta to meet her in May. It should be a pretty fun time. Piper is back in town, and I think that…

    OK, I have been working on this crap for a while now. I was trying to decide what would be the best way for us to be able to host our own pics, but be able to display them in a less boring format than the previous galleries, that we put together in frontpage. We…

    It is another day of the same sweaty sticky mess. When I was sitting here trying to get some statistics, temperature-wise, I encountered a pretty large discrepancy between the weather channel.com and accuweather. They are like 10 degrees different from each other. It’s like, I want to trust the weather channel, because “channel” denotes TV…

    It was so fun having Piper back here this weekend. It looks like she may even be here a little longer, depending on how things play out with insurance authorization today. One thing that Reagan and I have discovered in the past couple of days, is that we were a bit hasty to talk about…

    This view of Pedrosa’s back tire is about all that the other riders saw on Sunday. Dani started on pole and got out to an early lead that only increased as the race went on. Stoner was in second position early, but ran wide on turn 4, twice, allowing Pedrosa to build a comfortable margin.…

    .Apparently summer decided to show up yesterday. It was bloody hot outside, and today is just as hot, if not hotter. Unfortunately Reagan had to work yesterday, so she totally missed out on the sunshine. I, on the other hand, was able to take full advantage. I started off by getting Bebe washed. Thank goodness…

    Another nasty crash for Lorenzo will make him unable to compete in Sunday’s race. Lorenzo needed to finish strong this weekend to continue to be a threat to Pedrosa in the GP Championship points, especially after crashing out of the race last week in Mugello. He is currently 3rd in the standings, but he could…
