Palo Alto Thanksgiving

Thank you to the wonderful Feinstein family for their hospitality.

These pictures are from our double date to the beach. I cannot recall the name of the beach, perhaps Lea or Carl can clarify, but as you can see it was lovely!

Career Change for Kath

My current occupation appears to be house painter. I have logged over 100 hours in the last two months on some rung or other of a ladder very much like this one, except more rickety. I have paint in my hair, under my fingernails, and even on my stomach. Eventually I will run out of walls and woodwork to paint, and then I can be a normal person again. I shudder to think of the toxic load of volatile organic compounds absorbed by my brain this fall! But on the plus side the house will look nice when the young ladies from New Hampshire and Illinois venture home for Christmas! Hope everyone is well! Love, Kath

Recent Sweeps

So... working at I.D. has been rather consuming. But, i do get to share some goodness and forward you all to a sweepstakes we are hosting. One item a week for several months will be given away. Check it out, there is some good stuff on there... and I'm not self promoting (I promise, David) but excited to see my first web design launch!

Happy Birthday Daniel!!

A few friends and I managed to pull off a surprise pool and bowling birthday party for Daniel. Complete with mustaches!
I highly recommend them for your next birthday party :)

Hola from Barthelona

Some more pictures....

A beautiful theater that we went to see a guitarist perform (whose name i forget at the moment). Incredible seats (thank you David) and incredible music.

Marathon Photos

In the Beginning (or maybe 1/2 way through) things were good.

Even at mile 20 I could still manage a smile. The guy in green next to me I met on the course. His name is Andrew and he ran about 20 miles with me which was huge!! Finally he had to drop back and I continued on alone.

Which might explain this slightly dazed look...

*************************************************************************************

This was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done (and it was my 3rd marathon). My inner monologue that usually keeps me going during races was even faltering and I had to call for backup. Luckily for me my gallant husband borrowed our friend Margaret's belt and came to my aid running with me for a mile and a half until he had to leave the course at mile 26. With that boost of support I was able to put all my energy into getting across the finish line .2 miles later within the finishing time needed to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Thank you all for your support and good wishes... Anyone fancy a springtime trip to Boston?
