Tara died a year ago today. I thought of her as I was walking through the dog park in Marymoor. She enjoyed cooling off in the water there.

I was looking at some old posts of mine and I don't have as many pictures and as much commentary as I used to. I'll try to be a better tour guide. What can I say? I'm a landscaper now with little energy left. When I do have some I like to use it running (when my back and knee feel good). I'd like to have some exciting travel stories and I might in the future; the bike is ready for touring again. I wanted to have some pictures of the race last weekend but ya see, I was in the race and I didn't want to run with my camera. I'll go and see about pictures from the race at the timing website. Y'all hold on.
