Sensuous ... on a Friday

Last Friday I went to the Provo Sensuous for a hot four inch Satisfier with cream cheese and BBQ sauce. I rotate between this sandwich, the Spicy Enticer (also with cream cheese) and the Sensuous. I sure do love these sandwiches - have for years.

Anyway, I ran into my old boss, Janet and her husband - they eat there every Friday. I joined them for lunch and we reminisced about the old days at the BYU Bookstore Text Information Desk.

Almond (the owner of Sensuous) was there too - she is helping me train for a half marathon ...
Yes you read that right, a half marathon. Moab in March - not too far away. I've never run more than four miles. Needless to say, I'm a bit scared about this commitment.

People, I'm going to need your prayers.

Indoor Triathlon

Liz talked me into this indoor triathlon held at the Elevate triathlon gym in Orem.

It was easier to pace yourself on a bike trainer and treadmill. However, that resistance pool will take some getting used to. I liked the race and it was fun to do it all inside.

Turkey Tri ...

We raised a good chunk of change for Drew ... thank you!

Pre-race dinner and meeting. And of course the unveiling of the t-shirts.
We are "Drew's Divas" and we are "Single and Tri-ing!"


Getting set up before the race ...

The run ... I improved my time in this event!

Me & Dave Angela, Allison, Me

Here is the whole group post race.


Julia and I took Coach Keena's triathlon class for the last two months and all I can say is that if it weren't for her spin class I would have never made it up 400 South twice!!! She is great!

We had lots of supporters from the ward - it was so fun!!!

We are ... 33!!!

Erin & I

And then the best part ...

Hawaiian burger at JCWs with cheese fries of course!!!

By the way ... I improved!!! Check out my times as compared with my first triathlon in August. These two races had the exact same mileage for all three events.

Museum visit

Yesterday these guys came to see me at work. They got to ride in this tractor all the way from their new house.

They got to eat some candy corn and touch some live animals.

BYU Lost & Found

On Monday I lost by 4 GB USB drive that has all of my work on it from my entire graduate program. Yes, I back up my work but not often enough and I hadn't for at least three months. When I realized it was gone Tuesday night, I searched and searched for it with no luck. I decided that I had probably left it at the library. All I could do now was hope that it was turned in. Yesterday morning I called the library and they told me they had about 15 USB drives turned in from the day before that had all been collected on Tuesday (see, I'm not the only one). Mine was not there. They take all lost and found items to the WILK on a daily basis.

So I called BYU lost and found and they had it. It was easy to find because I had a printed label with my name on it.

Relief. I like it when people turn in my lost items - it makes me feel good.

On my way over to pick it up, I had a telephone conversation with Ann Dee. She seemed almost happy that I had lost the drive because it proved that I wasn't as organized as I seem because I do lose things.

Ok - true, I do occasionally lose things but it did have my name clearly labeled on it which made the finding process much easier. In fact, if I hadn't realized I was missing the drive, I would have known about it after receiving this email below (it came to me on Wed afternoon).

We visited Grandpa Larry and Grandma Jewel (twice).
We looked at pictures on the computer.
We played some games on barbie.com
We played our own version of dominoes.

What are you going to be Halloween for?

Van keeps asking me this question. And Ann Dee doesn't want me to correct him cause she thinks its cute.

When I told him I was going to be Superman he said No - he was going to be Superman.

I came back and said No - I'm going to be Superman. Then he got mad.

I only teased him cause I knew he was going to be this:


Anyway, I'm going to do this 5K on Halloween morning.
I'll be the really slow Superman.

My question to you: What are you going to be Halloween for (or your kid for that matter)?

Sam and Dan

These two brothers are competing on the Amazing Race ...

These two brothers like to dress alike.
