Back to School!
My daughter starts school on Tuesday. We've had a fun summer but unfortunately didn't get to half of the things I really wanted to do. Without a schedule to adhere to our entire family loses it's focus and we are what can be best described as "floppy". Should we go here? There? Nowhere? Should we …

Fair Affair
The Marin County Fair just closed and is packing up as I write. For 5 days our quiet lagoon was transformed into a blinking light, carnival barking, kid screaming, fried food-a-palooza! Some people actually don't like the fair. Too loud, too dirty, too, too everything. Our family, however LOVES the fair. The questionably safe rides, …

Well, that's what it seems like! I have been going back and forth about running the SF Half Marathon at the end of July. Yesterday I finally got off the stick and FINALLY signed up for the race. I paid my $90 (as a PacWest Athletics team member I saved $5) and got myself set …
