Summer Fun

Summer just zipped by. The kids are back to school today, and I can't believe how fast it all went. Summer got kicked off by flying Popper's new Pacer back from Fitchburg Massachusetts in May. Then Peter and I checked an item off our bucket list by riding the tandem bicycle to the farm. We tried raising chickens, and got reunited with cousin Angela as she recovered from cancer treatment. A new sailboat, a couple triathlons, and great vacations to Grand Haven and Lake Tahoe.

Erik my Hero

I know it wasn't easy Erik, but I am so proud of you. You handled the surgery like a champ, and you're battling the pain with braveness and politeness. I love you so much it hurts. Love, Dad

Bike Trip to Farm

Peter and I are planning a tandem bike and ride from our house to the farm. We just finished mapping it out, and it's 45 miles... mostly back roads and bike trails. We figured it'll take us a total of 6 hours. 4 hours biking, and 2 hours for breaks. Here's a link to our route, which is tentatively planned for April 27th: BIKE ROUTE

Swim Times to Beat in 2013

50 free... 42.2
50 back... 49.2
50 breast... 56.2


Full Service

I love it that Peter's grandpa taught him how to "fill er up", especially when there is freezing rain in Chicago.

New American Airlines

I liked the old shiny jet paint job a lot, but the new composite airplanes AA is getting don't have an aluminum exterior. Couple that with a fresh start out of bankruptcy, and a possible merger, and you have the "New American Airlines". Lots of complaints when they rolled this out yesterday, but I kinda like it.

Erik's Fabulous Christmas Break

Erik got to spend Christmas break with his Uncle Tom. They spent some time in Lake Tahoe, and then took a big VW Campervan roadtrip to southern CA to see Wisconsin and Stanford play in the Rose Bowl. Many big thanks to brother Tom!
