Today started with an early morning MRI on my swollen knee (the statue of Lucy).  Then hanging out with a good friend and his newborn.  Relaxing at home for awhile and going to pick up a fire ring that we were getting off Craigslist.  I wish the story ended there and the third picture.  But sadly as you can see by the other picture my car needed a tow.  After I picked up the fire ring, the car filled with steam so I pulled back over and looked.  Sure enough dripping anti-freeze.  Ugh.  Good thing we renewed AAA this year.

This is a view of the courtyard  at the building where we teach English. Not too exciting!

This building has  been occupying a fair amount of my time and thoughts.  Why? Because the Park Board is wanting to destroy the pool inside and isn’t seeking any community input on the building’s future.

This morning we helped out a friend who needed help manning water stops for Team Ortho’s training run. After meeting the Team Ortho staff for 5 minutes they turned the keys of their truck over to me. I was a little surprised but enjoyed driving the Avalanche around, though Christy doesn’t think we need one for city living.

Our City Councilman hosted a School Board candidate forum this morning.  8 men, 6 of whom are running for a city-wide seat and 2 who are running unopposed for their districts.  It is interesting to hear what people think are the issues with our schools.
