One of these is a cute little vessel that collects and grows germs and viruses, allowing them to spread to humans, causing the sniffles, various aches and pains, and sleepless nights.The other is a petri dish!!!
Now I realize I turned 50 this past year, but I refuse to believe that has anything to do with the fact that I have gotten 3 nasty colds in the past 7 months! Hey wait, 7 months just happens to be the same amount of time that my son, Connor, has been attending day care. hmmm.. How odd!
And I'm not just talking about slight colds. I'm talking about no running, sleep in the other room, coughing till my abs ache COLDS!! And they last almost 2 weeks.
If there is any good news in any of this, it's that I am about 90% over my third cold now. And just in time too! It was 56 degrees today and I HAD to get outside in it! 6 miles later, much of it spent caughing like I had one lung, and I feel much better!
Hope you all are getting through winter without these colds! but if you feel left out, send me an airline ticket and I'll ship you my cute little petri dish for a few days!!
Peace...

You have the cutest Petri dish I have ever seen in my life! He is gorgeous! But he needs to start fending off all those gals kissing him in daycare - tell them his daddy is a serious runner and is suffering!
So if you have been "coughing till your abs hurt" for the better part of the last 7 months, then you better post pics of that 6-pack!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!
Hope you're 100% soon!
LOL, nice man!
I posted a race report of the stair climb on my blog:

Glad you are 90% better! The little germ machine is sure precious though!! :)
Two handsome devils!!!! :)
P.S. I'll take Connor for a run any time you'd like!
Well, 6 of the 11 team members that were in DC last week got really sick with a terrible cold (myself included). Now, those 6 are all from Seattle area, and flew in the same plane. Mmmm... Weren't you in that plane too? lol.
My point is: Don't blame it on age.
I am 95% better now. But as I suffer asthma, you can imagine what coughing does to me....
well, let's recover soon, and hit the road again. Our shoes are waiting....
That's no fun. Hope you're feeling better soon Kevin. Maybe it's Ohio? ;~)
Some things are well worth the 'other' things!
You'll make it! All too soon , the li'l one will be startiung school and expose everyone to more, wonderful, mysterious maladies!
