Recaps Continued

World Cup cool: David Villa (unstoppable right now) and Tevez (hell of a goal) in...USA out (tear). My top 4 picks at the start of the games for going all of the way were Argentina, Spain, Germany, Brazil ...and they are all still in. But Argentina OR Germany have to go next game, so we will see...

So- this weekend Laura and I made the grand trip to Mississippi to see Joy one last time before she moves to New Mexico. I think maybe I had just planned to move to New Mexico with her based on the way I packed.

We made sure to swim....kind of. Well, Joy splashed some on herself. We had these great open water swim plans, but somehow they just fell through every day. Either we are the most lame swimmers I know, or we are just scared of alligators.

We made sure to get a good bike ride in- thank you Joy for the tour. Mississippi is really pretty if you get off of the boring interstate! Here Joy and I are doing what we do best- talking.

We squeezed one trail run somewhere in the weekend- sandwiched between too much drinking and too little sleep for me. Then we zoned out and stared the computer for the rest of the day- and Laura is not kidding when she said we actually made a list of the things Ironman could do better when broadcasting races. I remember there were 20 so pros entered, but by the coverage, it seemed that there were only 4 on the race course.

By the way, did we ever email that?

And then it was time to go. And we took one more picture together.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I have a great life. We (my friends) have a GREAT life. A charmed life, really. How lucky we are to have each other. I am so happy that I walk through my life with so many good times. And it just goes on and on.
