Wow that is very impressive that you came up with 40 things. Tell Doug we mailed him a bday card yesterday (we actually went to the post office Tuesday and found out it was closed) but Emi stuck his card in the wrong slot so hopefully the post office can figure out that it's supposed to go to your house and that it's not a payment for a p.o box. Happy Birthday Doug!

Happy Birthday Doug!!!

Hey how is the running going? I started running back in September and the training schedule I used has been wonderful. I usually hate running and I have bum knees, but this was so gradual my knees have been okay and I actually look forward to the 30 minutes of solitude it has given me.

When your up to it let me know and we could get together to run a 5K.
