Ao, I can't do the 27th. How about the Run to LSB on the 13th in Decatur?

Doh, EO's face finally stuck that way.

Hrm, I tried seasoning my taco meat with chili powder and cinnamon. Did not like.

just voted!

rsj, here's another race in Peoria on the 27th. according to the flyer, i would be in the athena division. there's something seriously wrong with that.

I seasoned my bland ground turkey with chili powder and cinnamon. Interesting combination...

Thanks for all of the B-day best wishes. It was truly a blessed year for me though it is hard to believe that it passed so quickly.

See some of you in a few weeks and I look forward to watching the Illini in the NIT!

Happy birthday to you!!

Well, Edgardo still hasn't spoken with his mother. Karina and Rodrigo are working out of our house since thier offices are closed and our apartment seems to be the only place with water, electricity and internet.
Edgardo is thoroughly embarassed by his countrymen that are taking advantage of the situation and looting.

Happy Birthday Sandy! Your present is in the mail!!

ao: I'll be up around 5 Thursday. I'm looking forward to the class.

rsj, yes the 14th. there is one in danville on the 20th.

Thanks esSO. I was thinking of just sending a check to Edgardo to donate somewhere. Is his family doing okay? All have places to live and necessary services?

If you feel like helping Chile, the Chilenos en Pittsburgh are asking you to donate toBrother's Brother Thanks!

Happy birthday Sandy!

AO, is the race on the 14th or the 13th? I can do the 13th but not the 14th.

mom, i have signed us up for the cooking class on thursday. it starts at 5:30.

Happy Birthday Alessandra!

Stupid political-thievery-toll-booth-making-counterproductive crap:

A bill that will create a tourism promotion organization for the United States has received its final passage in the Senate.

The Travel Promotion Act calls for a nonprofit Corporation for Travel Promotion that will promote the United States as a travel destination and explain travel and security policies to international visitors.

A $10 fee charged to visitors from countries included in the Visa Waiver Program will partially fund the public-private organization.

vo: If you're not in the darkest blue areas on the map, you can probably start them anytime now. Even in those areas though you could just transplant them into bigger pots when they start getting too big. (bury the tomatoes up to the original leaves and they'll form deeper roots all along the stem.)

rsj, there is race here in bloomington March 6th or March 14th. I think I'm probably going to sign up for both. Let me know which one works for you.

Everyone else, you are invited to join us. The day usually consist of a 5k, then some baking or shopping or some crafting project. Anyone else interested in joining us?

7 weeks before the last frost date for your area.

If I was going to start some tomato and pepper plants in the house before I transplant them outside when do I do that?

bit her own tongue or the instructor's?
