Getting "cardio" with Justin

Welp here I am after the bike ride with Justin. I was lucky to be wearing a helmet. I am pretty sure my head would have had a similar road rash as my should if wasn't. I was wearing a shirt and helmet - Justin was wearing just enough to not be cited for nudity. Can't imagine how bad he would have looked if it had been him that hit the pavement. The skin nerves where you see the blood got trashed so it actually didn't feel bad as I was washing it out (I didn't feel anything) I write this blog 2 weeks later and shoulder is at the point the nerves are healing on the shoulder and that is pretty annoying, my wrist is still hosed which is the frustrating. Oh one other cool thing, I did some 'concusion' tests and found that it took about 2 minutes to remember the name of my road. My parents address kept trying to be my address in my mind. Other than that, it was a great ride and amazing day!

Justin Visits

During another amazing weekend here in Austin in the middle of WINTER, Justin and I went biking in the fields and land near the house.. in shorts and no shirt! The 2 pictures here are of a what think is the old railroad bridge built in 1930. Note how thick the steel girder is - about 12 feet! The timbers lining across it are decaying and falling apart - I deciced it wasn't for me and I went around the long way allowing me to get the great shots. It still amazes me how much history is within walking distance from the house (that is still visible).
Later on Justin convinces me we should bike on the road to get some "cardio"... Yeah thanks Justin! *see next blog*

Kira gets her tummy fixed

Feb 1st 2008. Kira went to surgury today for her developemental hernia. She was a trouper - if scared. We ended up using the versed to help her calm down and forget the whole thing. The surguy was over in less then 50 minutes. When she came to us she was still pretty out of it and weepy, she must have asked what the 'tube in her arm' was for more then 4 times... Ah Versed. Her favorite part - forgetting it happened.
