Personal:

Pepper is my dog, thus my namesake. Used to run quite fast in the USMC (15:30 3 miles was my best) but stopped running when I got out. Now, it's much tougher and I generally cycle more than I run. However, I still compete in races because it's run and I can be a wee bit competitive.

No running again. Went to the gym at lunch and did squats, calf raises, shoulder presses, front/side shoulder raises, and leg extensions. Legs are starting to feel better from the initial "welcome back" workout I had earlier in the week. Looking forward to happy hour tonight.....good times.

Wow I don't read your blog in a couple of days and all these news! Where are you moving to? Please don't decorate your house in distasteful ways! Thai food rocks... When do you start your new job? Is it in Tyson's Corner? Am I annoying you with so many questions? We must plan a run soon, I miss Pepper! oh, and I guess you too :)

1. Moving to a house with friends a few blocks from the East Falls Church Metro stop

2. I would never decorate a house distastefully. Griswalding a house is completely on the table.

3. Yes, I love Thai food and Thailand!

4. New job will probably start after the first of the new year.

5. Yes and no...main office is in Tysons while I'll be down on the hill other days

6. Not at all, happy to answer any questions you may have

7. Running is fun, especially when it's done with Lucia, the Argentine Rocket!

8. We both miss you and will have to get together soon. Pepper told me you he wants to slurp you. :-0

You really can't go wrong with a hound...much better and more reliable/loyal than a guy!
