Traditions reprise

Glad to hear of your appreciation of traditions. And, I like the favorite ones so far. Yes, Sara, Jake and I have run many T-day races now. Sara told me this was her thirteenth! Jake has seven under his belt. Amazing. My favorite part of it (after seeing my kids run) is Kate Smith singing God Bless America! Yeah, strange for an atheist, but that's how it is. It may have been my last one: the knees are aching. I'm working on getting them back in shape. We'll see. I certainly want to participate for as long as possible. I'll walk if I have to, but I'd rather jog.

Sorry to say, we will be in Syracuse again this Christmas. It has been a year since we saw the Pergolizzis. We didn't make the usual summer trip. Kathy used her Red Lion Inn gift certificate on me instead f her sister. As usual, thanks to my family for being gracious and understanding about this holiday stuff. We WILL catch up at New Years.
