[Yesterday: 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n

We went to Texas over a long weekend.\u00a0 We left on Wednesday and drove down to New Orleans for a quick visit and meal.\u00a0 Then we stopped north of NOLA for the night.\u00a0 On Thursday we drove on in to our hotel in Sugarland, TX.<\/p>\n

Melinda ran in a 100 mile race on Saturday\/Sunday.\u00a0 She had some problems with eyesight starting around mile 25 and was able to get through the end of the 2nd 16+ mile loop.\u00a0 After that the medical people (and me, and her) decided it was not wise to continue the next loop due to approaching evening and the understanding that she was not going to be able to complete the race by any means, she declared her DNF to the race officials. She had done about 35 miles.<\/p>\n

So we had a good night sleep on Saturday back at the hotel instead of me being in a lawn chair at the race with her still running.\u00a0 We went back on Sunday to cheer in some of the 100 mile finishers and collect our lawn chair and other debris. We drove all the way home on Monday.<\/p>\n

Our hotel was a fancy place.\u00a0 It was near a big mall.\u00a0 I saw this picture at a nearby clothing store.\u00a0 “Oh boy,” I thought, “They’ve restored an old TV and they are playing the old Rudolph show on it.”\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Actually they removed the picture tube and they put an LG flatscreen monitor in there.\u00a0 Cheaters!\u00a0 (It probably was not a color TV in its former life anyway.)<\/p>\n
