Happy New Year......

It looks like 2008 will finish up at 836 miles pounded on the pavement. Hopefully that number moves back up in 2009 into quadruple digits...

Projects....

The crown molding is stained and installed. The Venetian plaster is all but done on the entire ceiling......it took forever to do but it was worth it.



.....now I get to start on the flooring, the replacement of my 3 remaining hollow crap doors, and my stained glass for the windows on each side of the fireplace.....once the stained glass is done, it will replace the white mini blinds in the picture above. I actually have one panel already cut so the grinding of the glass will start today...

Kiawah Island Marathon weekend

We headed out for Charleston this weekend for the Kiawah Island Marathon. We finished at 5:09:12, completing marathon #71 and state #34 (marathon geeks). The marathon was on the 6th which also happens to be Kim's birthday. The marathon was a double loop that ran through the Kiawah resort, including some incredible houses. The Charleston area was great....this is one we may need to come back some time to spend some more time. Some pix....

The view out of our hotel room. A slot for your boat can be yours for $119,000....
We always manage to find a local brewery everywhere we go.

Kiawah Island

We are heading east to South Carolina for the Kiawah Island Marathon this weekend. It looks like we are getting out of town just in time to miss some crappy weather....it looks like a high of 57 degrees for race day on Saturday. If all goes well, this will be state number 34.
