Just about the most perfect day I can remember in a long time.  My brothers and sisters are in from all over the country for my sisters wedding and staying with us.  My house is finally getting some use!  I hit the Logan River Trail with my brother, a physical therapist from Idaho Falls, for an early 10 miler at 6 am and was surprised that all the stitches in my forehead didn't bother me at all.  We all then hit the lake for the day for skiing again and must have put 8 hours in on the water.  Skiing didn't bother my head either but both my eyes went black today, probably from blood draining inside my forehead.  We ran through an entire 40 gallon tank of gas.  My girls think they are in heaven today with all the cousins and my son got pulled around all afternoon with his girlfriend holding on an innertube with him, so life is pretty good for him too!  After the wedding reception I went on an 11 miler out in the open valley with my brother from Miami who is training for Ironman Florida in November.

19 stitches in your head and you are back in the water in less than 24 hours? you sir are an animal.

That is crazy, 21 miles the day after that happens? Wow! So did your head hit the ski?

That reminds me of a story, the other day I heard a big crash and then my 3 year old started crying, I ran in and asked what he hit, he said "the floor"
