This photo was taken by our daughter, Sarah Timmons, or my wife, depending on who you ask. We were in Rehoboth Beach, DE on Easter Sunday, 2011.


Several years ago, on the way home from a family vacation, I picked up a notebook and quickly recorded an incident that had occurred involving our son. Eventually, I used that story to illustrate something about my spiritual walk as a believer in Christ. Thus began a deliberate attempt to document the significance of everyday events. Almost any ordinary circumstance in daily life can become fodder for another story. This, almost by definition, lends itself to a blog.

Of course, many of the entries here are just ordinary diary style stuff... the stuff of ordinary blogs. Good grief, I don't want to be ordinary.

Father's Day 5k

At 7:30 this morning,  I ran the Seashore Striders Father's Day 5k in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  The last race I ran was the Father's Day 5k last year.

You can't see it well, but I'm wearing my 88.7 WKNZ t-shirt.  It is the first t-shirt the station made, and was actually a gift as part of a fundraiser before the station went on the air.  It was also before they officially named the station "88.7 The Bridge".

I chose to start at the front, and work my way all the way to the back during the race.  This way, I could be certain that everyone had a chance to view the back of the shirt.  Free advertisement for the station.  It was the least I could do.



This is my mean, intimidating race face.


Afterwards, we ate breakfast at the Royal Treat on Wilmington Ave.  The three pancakes, two sausage links, and two eggs just about replenished my burned up supply of energy.



Actually, I finished in 26:02, 155th out of 393, 9th in the male 50-54 age group.

Surely Bill Sammons needs to know your committment to advertising "The Bridge."

No doubt your intimadating expression had an effect on the other racers. Good for you.

He does thanks to me, and he put a link on the 88.7 The Bridge Facebook page.
