Today, being the Columbus Day holiday, Taylor had off from school. Well, she needed a haircut. So off to the salon we went. I baited her with "if you do something radical I will buy you a new outfit". Needless to say we were at the mall tonight! But doesn't she look beautiful!!






Yesterday was a big day here in Scranton. The Steamtown Marathon took place and Bill ran it again for the 7th time. The weather was too warm and humid and unfortunately, although he finished, he was "done" at only mile 6. He simply did a survival shuffle to the finish. About 50 minutes longer than any other marathon. We are proud that he finished. Taylor and I have a tradition on marathon day. We drop Bill of in downtown Scranton to catch the bus to the start line in Forest City, at about 5:45. From there we have our Grand Slam at Denny's...then off to WalMart to kill time shopping (the only good time if you have to go to WallyWorld). Then we were in Carbondale by 7:30. We saw Bill come through town at about 8:45. From there we saw him in 4 other spots along the course. At each place we have instructions...new water bottle & power bar...whatever. Anyway, I only took a couple photos because he was really a hurtin' pup.
