Poor Little Girl...she's got the flu

102 temperature. Tired and not very hungry. I'm so happy that she's got a Mom that takes such good care of her! I was relieved to learn that she does not have strep-throat. I used to get it all the time as a kid and it sucked! It's rest and fluids for our little girl. I hope this passes soon!

New Career at Ford Motor Company

Martin Frania saved my family. I can't understate that. Marty stuck his neck out and got my name to all the right people. He helped me touch base with these folks. He talked me up more than he needed to. He coached me to make sure I was ready when my time came to interview. And when I did interview...it went GREAT! I got the job! I will starting a career with Ford Motor Company! Security, benefits, good pay, great people to work with, upward mobility, health care!!!! I could not be happier! And I owe so much to Marty! Thank you my friend!

I will be working at the Van Dyke Transmission Plant. I will be the controls engineer for the FN line. The FN is the 4 speed front wheel drive. We ship it all over the world. It's been around for 12 years and still going. I'm dealing with some seriously old equipment! This is going to be a challenge. I'm all over it!

Detroit Marathon 2010

Not as cold as last year! Rode down with Michelle on a bus from Lifetime Fitness. Got there in plenty of time.

Had an okay race. 3 hours 46 minutes. Not what I hoped for...but still better than last year. I know I'm going to have to revamp my training for next year.

We all went to Pizza Popalus afterwards. I had a beer and then spent the remainder of the time in the bathroom. Did not feel good! :(

Detroit Marathon 2009

Cold! Cold! Cold! Drove downtown with my friend Herb. It was 28 degrees! Herb wore shorts and a singlet! BRRRR!

Had a good race. 3 hours 47 minutes. I was really happy with that. Got a little light headed afterwards, but I expected that.

Can't wait for next year!
