One and done

2014 marks my 20th season of doing triathlons. I will never forget my first triathlon in Harriman State Park in New York and I will always remember this Ironman in Mont Tremblant Canada. I will continue to do triathlons, but I only need to do one Ironman. With all...

Je Me Souviens

Je Me Souviens

I will remember.  This was truly an experience of a lifetime. Not just race weekend, but all of the training and sacrifice that I made to accomplish this goal. I could never have done this without the love and support of Leland and the understanding of both Sofie and...

The four drains in Lynne's surgical area are supposed to be "milked" and emptied 4 times a day.  We've managed to do it three times a day so far.  I've been the farmer and Lynne has been Bessie.  While not the most visually appealing process, I felt that since she...

Exorcist Baby (alternate title “Dayenu”)

Upon returning to West Hartford this past Monday, we received a very thoughtful care package of front-button flannel PJs for Lynne.  Inspired, we thought having a second pair would be a good idea, allowing for laundry, spills, etc.  Liz, my mother-in-law, Sofie and...
