Augghhh, no training again!

Ok, I am supposed to be tapering, but this is ridiculous.

Really, no time to train today. I had a doctor's appt. at lunch, and after work went to a trivia night which raised money for a scholarship in my cousin Jack Crimmins' name. Sadly, he died last year. It was great seeing my other cousins, though, especially Lou and Gera, because although I love them dearly and am so proud of being related to them, I really only see them every decade or so! We made plans to get together again soon, and I hope we will.

I am always STUNNED my how beautiful my cousins are, and wonder how the hell I missed out on these genes. They are tall and elegant, and Lou looks like Katherine Hepburn. Plus she's a fantastic singer.

The trivia game was totally fun, and an excellent idea for a fundraiser. I may do one myself! cuz I still have 1,000 to raise before The Big Race. Note to self: all Liver Trivia! here are some sample questions:
1. What is the largest gland in the body?
2. Zeus punished Prometheus by having a vulture peck away at which organ in his body?
3. But Prometheus survived because of what extraordinary capacity of this organ?
Answers: liver, liver, regeneration!
Hmmmm . . . only need about 50 more questions.

Good night
