A Maverick For Hope and Change!

I know you have all been holding your breath waiting for my endorsement of a presidential candidate so that you will all know who to vote for next week. Well, after much research and pondering of the issues I present to you my pick for the next four years.........

Campaign slogan:

"Why Not?"

Are These Really The Only Choices We Have?

Not Good.

Yeah. Friday night at 10:30 right in front of the entrance to Maple Ridge Kendall and Sierra were viciously and randomly attacked by a suicidal buck! Everyone is okay and the car is very fixable. Just not how we planned to spend the evening! We feel very blessed that no one was hurt. (except the poor deer that is-he ran off but probably didn't get very far)

I'm Too Sexy for 113th Place!

I completed the Preservation Society 5K on September 30th! When I say completed I mean that I ran the whole darn thing from start to finish. When I say I ran the whole darn thing I mean that I did not walk any part of it! My goal for the race was to not finish last! And, I accomplished that goal. I placed 112th out of 116 which leaves me nowhere to go but up! I'll admit that I could have finished with a faster time if I had walked, there were many flying past me at a brisk walk, but then I could not say that I RAN the whole darn thing could I? So, here I am at Heritage Park downtown at registration with my number, waiting for the race to start, running (or looking like I am falling towards the road) and at the finish line. Dad tried to take the pic of me crossing the line but of course the battery in his camera picked that very moment to die. So the last pic is me "posing" at the finish line after the battery switch still gasping for breath and wondering if I will ever be able to feel my legs again. The nice man behind me can vouch for the actual crossing of the line though! If you really want me to I'm sure I can find out who he is!
