March day!
On the road heading to White Sands for this year's Bataan Memorial Death March. This year 22 survivors of the original March are here for year observance and there are 5700 marc:hers. Jake flew in from Oregon yesterday with at least 2 other marchers, one of whom was a wounded warrior.
Preparing for a marathon is largely mental regardless of whether you do it running or walking. I do them sleep deprived! Interesting to see all the folks from Talavera just now arriving home from a night out!

Rosie goes hiking
Rosie went hiking us this weekend. Phillip documented the hike from her view. Next weekend is the last before the marathon, so we took the opportunity to climb the minor mountain (with the politically incorrect name of Squaw Mountain) behind the house. Time constraints prevented us from topping it, but we probably made it to about 6500 feet from a start of 5000. Peak is just over 6800 feet. Rosie slept very well the rest of the day.The photographer was friend Phillip, who posted his photos on his flickr photostream.
Other news
- Windy season is here. Biking home was very easy today with a 20 mph tailwind.
- Jake is due home a week and a half from now. We couldn't get him a Friday flight so will not get here until Saturday.
- Quincy is interning at the Rio Grande Theatre. She loves learning about the care and feeding of a theatre and has already learned much about lighting.
