Go Dawgs!
Given that the CFP National Championship game was on a Monday night we probably could have canceled Ironman this morning. Nevertheless, Siri was a HC to Q and had the DiEGO winkie ready to roll (the tide). Just like them Dawgs! It was a very quiet morning when I arrived at Ironman. No Siri and [...]

baseball
On a clear and beautiful Tuesday morning, 6 men joined D2 to play baseball. Well, technically there was not a bat or a ball, so maybe baseball is a stretch (7th ining joke). But I had bases and that was enough for me. As always the morning started with a disclaimer followed by a good [...]
