One more thing

While Daniel and I were lazing around for a good part of yesterday, my friend Ariel was busting her ass in the Coeur D'Alene Ironman Triathalon. Not a half Ironman, mind you, but the full meal deal. Finishing the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 run in just under 14.5 hours, she is without a doubt the toughest chick I know.

Actually despite the deceptively geeky exterior, Ariel and her husband Dave are total badasses - you do not want to mess with them.

As a reward, she and dave will now enjoy a leisurely vacation drive back to SF, stopping off at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. While the Shakespeare festival is always a great time, no doubt the highlight of their trip will be returning to SF where they will get to see ME!

Congratulations Ariel - way to be!
