Yesterday, Kati and I went to Washington D.C. to cheer on Stepper-Pepper in the 33rd Anual Marine Corps Marithon. And I was SO proud to watch her run across the finish line!

I say the same thing to Schmarbo and to Scotty-B and Katie S. and everybody else that I know who's finished a marithon--that's impressive! This was the first marithon I've actually BEEN to and it was tons-o'-fun.

On a side note, the fact that somebody ran TWENTY-SIX miles in 2 hours and 22 minutes . . . frankly, it makes me want to barf.

Uncle Bob has some pretty great pictures of Stefanie, so, hopefully, he'll send 'em and I can post 'em up (I wouldn't hold me breath, though).

Great work, Stepper--I'm SO proud of you!

Paula wants to know if rocking chairs take me back to my "rock me bit" days.

I LOVE artistic renderings of new projects . . . they're always so optimistic and shiny and clean (there's never a LINE at the conscession stand or vomit in your seat or anything).

So, anyway, here is a cool rendering of the new hockey arena for Pittsburgh. I'm still trying to get a good grasp on WHERE, exactly, it's being built, but this is what they're saying it's going to LOOK like:

This story hits a little too close to home for our little Mr. 'Ber (although he IS happy that his favorite football team is on the top of the NFL Power Rankings this week!).
