RE: [BurkeLakeRunners] Re: Triathletes? Open water swimmers?

Dan, you just made me laugh out loud at work!!  Beavers come instantly to mind when I think of you... I am still laughing!
 
Yeah, man what happened to those Pats??!!  The only team ever to win every game including playoffs and  lose the Super Bowl.
 
I think I saw my running shoes this morning as I walked through the garage.  They had just come back from a long run without me and hid behind some boxes.  I'm gonna catch them tonight!

Yes. I always think of peacemaking when you come to mind. Come spread your zen-like, Bosox mojo on Daphne and her violent ways. What about those Pats yesterday, huh?!

Yikes!  Things are getting brutal at the old Burke Lake!   Is this what happens when I don't come around?  I better get over there and straighten you all out... first I have to find my running shoes.  They seem to have run off without me.

Note to self: Bring several oars to Burke Lake on Sunday. Throw
John in water. Smack with paddles repeatedly. Repeat every weekend
until two weeks prior to Bay Challenge. Then cut back to using just
one paddle. (This is called tapering.)
