Five trail miles on the Herriman XC course.

My boys did well at the Herriman Invitational finished in a 4th place tie and, as usual, lost out on the 6th man. Third place was one point ahead of us. So, 5th place and one point off of 3rd. Grrrrrrr!

My girls beat Bingham for the first time! Looks like 2nd place in our region is a real possibility.

GREAT NEWS!

I got a letter from Time magazine today informing me that since I'm about to turn 50 that I am eligable for the "senior citizens rate" on a subscription.

Thanks so much Jeff. The key to success in life is not dying.

Good performance from the team.

since when is a senior citizen 50? Senior citizen status usually comes in another 15 years. I guess a discount is better than no discount. They should rebrand it the "midlife rate".

You can join the AARP at 50.

But yeah, I thought I had a few years to go.
