What a slugfest!!!! I started with the simple goal of scoring better than I did
last year. It took a while to accomplish that. Murphy was working against me
all week. I went back to college last year and it has been keeping me busy.
This week I was driving back and forth to Norfolk for the state EMS Symposium
and it made for some very long days. I got up each day at 5am and didn't get
home until after 7pm every day. Saturday, I had to drive back to Norfolk, but
I was able to get home about 1pm. Unfortunately, I had a paper to write, so I
was finishing that up until almost time for the contest to begin. My wife was
an angel all weekend long. She brought goodies into the shack, drinks and even
came in to give me a liberal application of kisses while I was trying to get a
run going!! My daughter and son came in to listen in for a while. I finally
hit the wall about 5am on Sunday morning and fell asleep for 5 hours and my
family let me sleep because they knew I needed a rest after 24 hours straight.
It was fun, but I will keep my calendar clear next year!!!
Thanks to everyone who strained to pull my puny signal out of the noise!
