Usually it's overhearing something somebody said at the pool that strikes me odd or funny, or listening to teenagers talk. They're such interesting creatures. But it's not exactly lofty stuff.<br /><br />L.T.: Thanks for the sympathy. I felt really stupid. Right in front of the elementary school, too. <br /><br />Sarah: they weren't very new shoes, but they're the only ones I like, so it was a bit scary. And I figure inside air has to come the from outside anyway, right? <br />The kids loved coming over. They always like playing with Noah and Max. :)<br />Sorry about the white background, but, well, it's January, and I need light.Elena Jarvis Jubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153379522786866966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088317003537422229.post-55595148153698181442010-01-14T20:22:44.540-07:002010-01-14T20:22:44.540-07:00Hey, I did not know that you had your shoes zero-e...Hey, I did not know that you had your shoes zero-ed out. Karl and I talked about that but have not been able to actually been able to 'sacrifice' any shoes. I am glad it works for because yes, I hate the gym too. But with the air we have been having...it's better than nothing. I heard from Brenda that you signed up for WoS. I am really excited to be racing with lots of friends. It should be lots of fun. Oh, and my boys had a ton of fun with your kids. Tell them thanks again! Oh, and I miss the blue background. I loved that blue.Sarah Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03586537420550265890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088317003537422229.post-71182852353631910182010-01-14T17:55:33.756-07:002010-01-14T17:55:33.756-07:00I'm sorry that you got tripped up or fell or h...I'm sorry that you got tripped up or fell or however that ended up but I'm THRILLED that you were inspired.

That's when all kinds of interesting connections and tensions emerge.Matthttp://matthewkirby.com/kirbsidenoreply@blogger.com
