After a whirlwind trip to Amelia Island, FL (we left Friday and returned last night at 10 p.m.), Jen, Jessie, and I, along with our faithful dogs, CInnamon and Lily, are hunkered down for Christmas. This will one of the first years that Jessie has waken up in her home - one of the side effects of divorce. I'm glad for her.
We will drink coffee, make and eat cookies, open presents, watch TV - spend time together. I will post some pictures from Amelia and here this afternoon.
Big surprise. In today's local paper, there was an article about the 2nd LAR in Iraq. This is Jason's battalion. It was about the Marines helping the Iraqi forces put out a fire that had started in the Iraqi mess hall. It was emotional for me just to read about something that he was close to, that I can connect with. Please pray for Jason and the tens of thousands of other men and women serving around the world. It's a lonely place to be - without your family.
"To us a Child is born and a Son is given..."
Merry Christmas.

Running is my therapy and my way of helping to find a cure for my wife's disease - cystic fibrosis. I raise funds by lacing up my shoes and getting into races. Follow the journey...
