OK, I am a cat person. I like them, and always have. I even re-captured one who ran away. He’s sitting in my lap as I write this. And even he’s laughing.
Some dude’s cat gets run over. Rather than bury him in the backyard, he turns him into some sort of flying machine. I guess it’s an act of love. A tribute. Or something.
I’ll probably be a little uncertain about this whole thing until PETA (this one, not that one), starts acting like it’s a capital offense, at which point I’ll conclude that the OrvilleCopter is awesome.
On Saturday, she won the first race in the 2012 Kiwanis Kids Triathlon Series.
This morning, she placed second in the 2012 TKC/ERJCC Family Triathlon. She was in the 11-12 division, which meant she was competing against girls a year older than her.
Delaney finished 2nd in the 2012 Kemah Kids Triathlon, this past Saturday in Kemah, TX. She was a minute and 16 seconds behind the winner, Heather Welsch- who won her age group at the 2011 USA Triathlon Junior and Youth National Championship. That’s some pretty good competition. In addition to finishing 2nd in her division, Delaney finished 6th overall, which means that only 5 kids, including boys and girls and all age divisions, beat her.
Check out the video on YouTube (it won’t let me embed it, because of some of the music I used).
Here’s a very helpful- and somewhat scary- infographic (that there is a fancy word for picture) from Keeping It Kleen.
My big germ thing is shoes. It completely boggles my mind that most people (us included) walk around inside their houses with their shoes on. The same shoes that walk in all kinds of who knows what day after day. There is a tree in front of our house. Lots of birds congregate there. There is always a big pile of bird poop on the sidewalk. People walk across that sidewalk on their way to our door.
If I could go back in time, I would ban shoes in my house. I’m not kidding.
Delaney and Luke competed in the inaugural Houston Kids Triathlon at the University of Houston last weekend. It was the largest kids triathlon in Houston history.
Delaney finished second, adding another medal and trophy to her immense hardware collection.
Luke finished 13th, in only his second triathlon.
It’s really cool watching a thousand kids swimming, biking and running early in the morning. Big fun.
