Great pics, thanks Lisa. I love pictures of me! Isn't there any of Dave in front of me? None at all?
next up:


This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

Those are GREAT photos!! I love the one of Sheldon and Dave running up the tree lined trail (the last one). Everyone looks like they are having so much fun! Well, they are all smiling anyhow!

One question, is that a satellite dish sitting on concrete in the middle of a field?? (in the individual photos of Dave and Sheldon).

Could be -- I should check the sports channels -- or at least Sports Desk! Maybe we will see you guys on there -- great exposure for the RM Nation!
