Yesterday, was my grand-daughter's sixth birthday! When I was younger thinking about having a grandchild and celebrating their birthday, I had visions of sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket over my lap and having them sit at my feet as they opened their presents - that's not exactly the way it worked out!
I can hardly believe Morgan is now six years old. It wasn't that long ago I was flying to Norfolk to pick her up from a tearful Erin as she planned to head out for a six-month Med-cruise. We flew back to Kansas City, just the two of us, playing and talking and me soaking up the time with her. She's definately not that little baby anymore who is reliant on you 100%...no, Morgan is very self-sustaining and likes doing things for herself.
Steph and I leave Saturday for a belated honeymoon on a cruise - we are so very excited! This will be 8 days away, just the two of us to enjoy the warmth of the sun and each other. My hope is, everyone is as happy as we are with their lives.
I continue to get in a few miles each day - trying to maintain through the winter time; I really haven't been very good at this since I was in college some 20 years ago. I want to PR a few races early in the Spring and qualify for the Boston Marathon by July. Hopefully, these long runs on Saturdays and speed workouts throughout the week will pay off.
Please take the time today to pray for someone who needs God's love and understanding - pray that you can be an inspiration to them both by word and by action!

Enjoy the belated honeymoon buddy. Sounds like a good time. At your age, that Boston qualifier is not too bad. Stay after it. I would like to qualify again and head up there in '09. My plan is to run it every 5 years now. It is a great race with a wonderful tradition. Have a great cruise.
Thanks Paul! Hey, I got an email from Gary Taylor the other day. He said he saw my comment on your Blog and kicked off an email to me. I also exchanged a few emails with Linda Wolfe today - catching me up on her family situation; it was great talking with both of them. Thanks for the age comment ol' buddy! Honestly, that 3:30 shouldn't be too hard to overcome!
