Deuces Wild aka Attack of the Killer Wetsuit

We had a wonderful weekend supporting Bryan as he participated in an another triathlon. I have to admit, the Deuces Wild in Show Low is a family favorite. Our kids LOVE cheering Dad on!!

So, to the story of the killer wetsuit...

We got back from the tri rather late and quickly hustled everyone off to bed and stored the gear. After a race Bryan typically washes his wetsuit in our bathtub. Needless to say, a couple of hours later I wake up to check on the kids and totally panic because there's 'a body' floating in our tub!!

Rain

Yesterday we enjoyed a rare treat...RAIN!!! It was wonderful. If I were a dog I'd have run around silly with my tongue hanging out.

What was I thinking?

Do you ever have those moments when you wonder, "What was I thinking?" Well, tonight was my moment of wonder.

As my little family lay sleeping so peacefully in their nice cozy beds, I found myself in the garage practicing. Why was I practicing at 10'30 at night? That's a very good question!!! I wish I had a very good answer but I don't.

Here's the story...not too long ago, a friend told me about an orchestra that was being put together to perform a brand new oratorio composed by a grad student at our local university. Wow! What a cool experience not to mention a great opportunity to dust off that old violin and put all those years of music lessons from my youth to good use. Augh!! What was I thinking?!? It's been 17 years since I've played with an orchestra. (No, that was not a typo, I really meant to write 17 years!) What was I thinking? Oh well, it looks like I have a lot of late nights in the garage ahead of me. Wish me luck!!
