Running

I have been blessed with plenty of time the past three weeks to run about 4-5 miles a day over lunch. It has been great traveling less for work and having less lunch time meetings.

Jedi Academy

Liam attended Jedi camp this summer and during their end-of-session performance Dads like myself were invited up on stage to participate in a choreographed sword fight.

I took fencing at KU and at JCCC and am thrilled to report that Liam will be taking fencing lessons this summer.

Tennis

In our development, some of us have formed a mixed doubles tennis group that meets one night a week to play. I went by myself. I am the only tennis player in the family apparently. I am also the only runner. Wait, I see a pattern here.

We had our first one last week. It was fun. I have not played tennis actively since working for Lockheed in Nashua, New Hampshire. But once I held the racket in my hand, it all came back to me. It helped that I had my trusty Wilson Graphite racket with me. Do they get better with age? Probably not, just like people. But I amazed myself.

Now I need to find a willing tennis victim^H^H^Hpartner to play a few single matches with now and again. It is a great workout and a nice balance to my running and lifting at the health club.
