Ready set GO!

I have been wanting to post an up date every night since the last, but no such luck. I wish I had some more pictures to post but it will have to wait. I have not had a chance to download them yet.
So just a quick post to get up to speed. So much has been happening lately it all most feels a bit uncomfortable. I trust it's just a season and well get through it.

The end of the Canada trip was great. I was able to golf for the first time up there at a beautiful course. The way things are going it will probably be my only outing. Sunday we went to the farm in Haford Sask. where Janet's dad grew up. It is always a blast to visit that side of the family at the farm. It is always a highlight at the farm and this trip was no different. Mom, dad and I packed up Monday morning and meet Victor for breakfast one last time, then hit the road. It is always good to see family. We certainly do not see them enough ( that's a hint for them to come down and visit!)

As you may have guessed I haven't had a spare moment for myself yet. Nor my wife, or Bijou. All the things always seem to happen at once and August must be my month. The positives are work is really busy. That's better then the latter. Team in Training is fantastic. I have received so much encouragement in letters and donations that I have committed to doing another race. I will have much more information about it soon. The race is a century ride on the bike. It is basically one length of the Tour de France, I think 112-116 miles. It is called the Tour de Tuscon. It is November 19, and I am very excited and thankful to all those who have been so generous in your support, that has allowed me to continue. Thank you letters will be coming out soon.

I have "crack pot" dreams of finishing the century bike ride in November and rolling right into training for the Rock in Roll Marathon in Phoenix come January. Let me know what you think. If you haven't received a letter from me yet, leave me your address in the comment box and I will be sure to send you the details in my next letter. It should be going out next week.
