I’ve given blood, had a preliminary check-up for an upcoming colonoscopy, learned how to spell colonoscopy, passed a dermatology exam, sat through a tooth cleaning, and had my eyes checked all in the past week. I seem to be in good enough shape to continue my running streak that will pass 4900 consecutive days later this week. I just got the United States Running Streak Association (USRSA) newsletter yesterday where I rank #226 in the world and have the 402nd longest streak on their currently published list of the top 1,000. Check out their site and the amazing stories of achievement at www.runeveryday.com. 

Yesterday, I wiped out a colony of bees that made a nest in one of our bushes and spent the afternoon with my granddaughter in the pool. My wife entertained her while I went to the doctor and then made dinner for all of us. My son had taken his son to a movie after school let out, while my other granddaughter is on a three-day school field trip to the Keys. School lets out for the summer this Friday, so we’ll need to find some activities to keep them all busy the next few months.

Tally is home from the dog park and has settled in my office chair until I kick her out. It’s all hers while I finish this writing and then head to the chiropractor. We head into the Memorial Weekend with plans for an Indy 500 party on Sunday. We’ll also have overnight company. A welcome race fans flag has been planted near the front door. Start Your Engines.
