Hosting Ann-Kathrin from Nehren Germany 23-27 April.  Invited about 15 American ladies (George Washington U. graduate students) on the 25th to crash Ann-Kathrin's party.  The kitchen, stove and oven would be in full force!

Saturday, 5 April 2014 - Leading CSers on a bike ride from Lake Needwood (Derwood/Rockville, MD) to the Lincoln Memorial, 90 km r/t.

Took the day off 2 Apr 2014 to be a tour guide for a Polish physician.  Alex G., M.D. is an unpretentious young Lady! It seems like a blur to show her as much as I could in 7 hours!  It was a great hurried walk, few sights to show but made the most of it for the time we had!

Today's Muffin Triathlon was absolutely insane.  Started the bike in the rain and with falling temperature, it started snowing followed by sleet and windy conditions.  A few riders had to quit due to numbness of the fingers and toes, skipping the run portion and headed to the hot tub.

30 March 2014 at 1100 - Last of the Muffin Man Triathlon Series held during the winter months (December - April).  January was brutal when we had -12 C.  A bunch of loonies organized by a lawyer/doctor couple who has so much free time in their hands.  Actually, this couple gives so much of their time going to Haiti at least twice a year and run a free clinic.

Still thinking about the Dinner party I hosted last Sunday (23 March 2014).  I prepared dishes for four young and up coming Television News reporters who are making their presence known in the business (CBS LA, CBS Sacramento, CBS Baltimore and ABC2 Baltimore), an Austrian TV producer/TV host (a CSer working in Washington, DC) and the first ever American CSer I invited.

A great evening, a huge success!

19 May 2012 - Warrior Dash

22 July 2012 - Sprint Triathlon

Sprint Triathlon

Officially registered for the Sprint Triathlon in Hagerstown, July 2011. Shopping for a carbon Tri bike. Need to treat myself for a change! Not that I'm complaining looking at some babe's derriere during the 2nd discipline. I'd love to show off for a change and Reynolds aluminum bikes are heavy!

Sprint Triathlon in July

I just saw the Sprint Triathlon schedule this summer (July 24). Thinking about forming a team and if I can't find a swimmer and a runner ( I do the cycling discipline), I just have to register to do the event as an individual (300-meter swim, 11-mile bike, 5K run).

2010 Holidays...

I was in 7th heaven! In addition to my Princesses and their Mommy, Santucci adopted Meliora ( a 2-year old Chihuahua mixed ...from the animal shelter). She is one bundle of joy, smart, sneaky and hyper! I made adjustment to my routine so I could take Meliora out before 6 am, before she turns in around 8/9 pm and other times in between. It's quiet now that Santucci and Meliora went back to the apartment in Baltimore. After Wednesday morning, I'd be sulking for a while until I snap out of it. It has always been like that when they come and go. Until next time I guess, they are the air I breathe!

New Mexico's TV Hotties

Just came back from a week's stay with my girl in ABQ! In the process, I got to meet perhaps the most gorgeous TV faces. I was totally mesmerized listening to them.... Thank you ladies....

Continues to pour....

GF finally heard from the Department of Homeland Security. After fifteen long years with the Internal Revenue Service where she worked her way up to the elite group of Senior Executive Service (SES) numbering 6700 in the entire Federal government (State, Defense, Commerce, Justice, Treasury, Labor, Interior, Transportation), she will be tackling a far bigger job. Applying lessons learned from Vitro's Cruise Missile project, IBM and IRS, I have great confidence that she will succeed. So proud of you, Babe!

Santucci graduated last Sunday and as her name was called, it was also announced that she will be attending Johns Hopkins in the fall. Two days after she received her diploma, she went for her scheduled 12 noon interview with Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore. KKI was so impressed with her achievements and work experience at U of R that they offered her the job as Research Assistant beginning 21 June. She was also informed that KKI would pay for her Masters at JHU.
The girls continue to make waves!
