Cool air (still thick with humidity though) + rested legs = new world record on the New Trail!  Did ravine trail plus north loop (3.3 mi) on way to new trail, and then showed it who was boss - 9:20 for the twisty turny single track 1.35 miles.  Boychild tells me the XC team has taken to calling the new trail, Ho Chi Minh Trail, since it has a couple stands of bamboo and is generally thick and scary and very much in keeping with Indochina... they all are experts on Southeast Asia ya know.

Starting the workday enthused and full of energy.

Smart kids. I would be surprised if a single kid on my team knew who Ho Chi Minh was. I surveyed one of my AP U.S. History classes yesterday - 14 out of 32 could name our current Vice President.

uhhhh, can I Google that and get right back to you, Mr. Murphy? The real scary and sad thing is that the ratio for that knowledge when looking at registered voters in this country may be even lower.
