It's cross country time again (posted by Ann)

The running season officially kicked off this Saturday, and school started yesterday. The kick off is a race where they break the team up and race against themselves, hold a parent meeting, and then eat all the food the parents have brought. It's volunteer time, so I signed up for - let's see - a pasta dinner for 75 teenage boys, tent set-up for two meets, "snack" for one meet (how many bagels can 75 teenage boys eat?), and also to take pictures at several meets. I'm going to be busy!

It's tradition for the teams to make up some type of uniform, and one of the guys got carried away.

Steve beat the cow, which is good because that would have been really humiliating! I didn't get a good shot of him running, but here he is after the finish.

Last night, I went to a farewell party for someone leaving the company, and it was a dinner cruise on the lake, so here's what I was looking at.

And here's a shot of the guest of honor. She was definitely having a good time.
