Ok, 3rd rewrite here. Nothing interesting coming out today. I think it cause I lack the xmas spirit.
Frankly, I blame Robbie. He and Karen are off in Dublin, lifting pints of Guiness no doubt. So much for another photo of us in matching outfits...
In other news, I am facinated with La Ruta (www.adventurerace.com). It is an endurance race across Costa Rica. Starts at the Pacific, climbs over moutains, volcanos, rain forest and ends at the Atlantic. It is billed as the hardest mountain bike race in the world. Three days. I'd need a new bike (one gear is not going to cut it) and lots of training, but all that is good. So, now I need to find someone to do it with. Perhaps someone with not so firm a grip on reality, you know, like me.
For my friends that ride, they are either "busy that day" or know the rumors of that race (30% that start don;t finish). So if you are interested, let me know. it is next November.
Wait! I've figured it out. Yeee-haw. I know why I am not in the xmas spirit. It is my parents fault. Every year they put out a nativity scene. And every year I exercise some creative license and change it. For example, here is a list of the past five years, the nativity scene became:
2004: Nativity Pirate Scene (you should have seen how good the cast looked with eye-patches)
2003: Wise-Man Casino (baby needed new pair of sandals...)
2002: Holy Sox baseball team
2001: Wise Man Airlines (the cradle was a drink cart)
2000: Wise Man Band (man can they riff) complete with groupies...
I'll find some photos... It is much more fun than the basic, scene, plus I think Caryl really enjoys it...
