The Old Man Posts Again

Wow! I turned 30 this week. Never thought that would happen. Do I feel any different now? Well, my back caused me some serious pain yesterday, but I attribute that more to the fact I ran 6 miles, most on hard concrete sidewalks. Today, I went on a 3 miler through Durant Nature Park with no pain--the paths were all pack dirt with a soft cushion of pine needles. Ahhhhh!

Girls are doing well. We all went to the park this morning. A beautiful weekend here in Raleigh. Warm temps, with low humidity. We do not see too many of these types of days, so we definitely will enjoy it! We found out on Monday that Myra's Hydronephrosis (stretching of the kidney) seemingly worked itself back to normal. We will visit with our pediatric urologist Dr. Weiner (insert joke here) in a year, but all looks good! Thank goodness!

I also started to familarize myself with Second Life. For those of you not in the 'know,' SL is a virtual world where you create a second identity. You can buy clothes, hairstyles, etc, all with virtual Linden dollars. Education began to jump on board when we discovered we could meet virtually with people from all over the world. I actually began a project with this through work, so tune in. This picture shows me hanggliding over Heinz Field on UPMC Island. (-:
