Busy morning.

Took the dog to the park, mowed the lawn and did yard work, and ran 6.25 miles around the neighborhood. Andy joined me for some of it on his bike.

I've decided that Abby and I will run the Magna 4th of July 5k tomorrow because it starts at 7 am so we can get back to our neighborhood parade/breakfast at 9 and because it's $15.00 not $25 or$ 30 like all the other races.

Louis Zamperini died today at 97.

Sad about Louis. I hope the movie is good. Amazing story.

You still ok if I crash at your place the night of July 13, and bum a ride to the airport in the morning?

It's marked on my calendar Jon. Looking forward to it.
