the amazing hip has left the building

i'm heading out to phoenix for the weekend to visit with my grandparents. it's been a while since i've had a chance to see them...last christmas (2004) actually. it'll be good to spend some time with them, albeit short. i've got a 24 miler scheduled for tomorrow, so running that in the desert will be a fun experience.

keep scott and brit in your prayers this weekend as they anxiously anticipate the arrival of mr. moo's sibling.

*edit* s and b had their baby (i'll call him mr. giraffe) at 2pm today, a healthy 21 1/4" and 9lbs. brit and mr. giraffe are doing just fine.

and, as a parting gift, you know, to hold you over for the weekend, i leave you a wonderful camera phone picture of me on my birthday a couple weeks ago.

AHHHHH! I'm eating a giant ball of fire!!!

Hey Eric's in Phoenix (well Tempe actually) it's possible that you'll have another rescue attempt on a run, only in the desert, and it's a 23 year old guy whose college buddies dropped him, passed out, in the desert after a long night of drinking... Goodness! Just kidding, he'll probably be passed out on a couch somewhere.

Anyways, have a great weekend! Gee, it does sound like fun to run 24 miles in the desert... =P

Sweet! Whereabouts are you taking the 24 miler? Phoenix's got some great running trails (better than my own Tucson's *gasp* Too bad the weather is even HOTTER up there.)

Thanks for the edit/update on Brit.
I was thinking about her today.

Ughh, thats Mr.G. to you.

Cool picture. Belated Happy Birthday. I just read your post about helping the elderly woman and your pledge to volunteer. Good stuff Jeff!

Hope you had fun. I think I'm gonna delete and readd you to bloglines as you still don't show up with new posts and I check the settings. Weird.
