I ran the same route as yesterday.  4 seconds slower today.  I took a picture of the spillway where my son broke his leg.  Enjoy looking at it and imagining the pain he is suffering right now.

Nice work Burt! That is 2 out of 3 this week!

From Burt on Wed, May 08, 2013 at 12:47:46 from 72.223.88.98

Don't stop me now. I'm on a roll!!!

From Shimelle on Wed, May 08, 2013 at 12:59:02 from 168.177.98.213

A pumpkin roll or sushi or egg roll?

From Burt on Wed, May 08, 2013 at 13:01:05 from 72.223.88.98

A big fat jelly roll.

Somehow in my daze last night I glossed right over that tidbit about your son's breaks. Sounds dreadfully painful. Did it affect the growth plates?

From SlowJoe on Wed, May 08, 2013 at 14:08:13 from 155.219.241.10

Sick spot, I'm gonna go grab my board and head there right.....ah, wait, no that's right.

Nice job on the running so far this week Burt.

From Burt on Wed, May 08, 2013 at 17:14:10 from 72.223.88.98

Neasts - I wondered the same question. They put in a permanent rod. I don't know the answer.

SlowJoe - You have a board?

From Tracy on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 19:36:13 from 50.103.254.253

I was too busy making fun of you to express my concern for your son. Sorry for that. I'm sure he's in a lot of pain. I hope you bought him a bell to ring when he needs something. I also hope he isn't laid up for too long. It sucks to be injured, but it doubly sucks to be injured during the summer.

From Tara on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 13:18:45 from 75.169.143.244

oooooo, ouch!

From Bonnie on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 13:21:09 from 196.3.39.209

ICK!!! I am so sorry to hear. did you take pictures of the break? Are you feeling sympathy pains? I am ....

From Bonnie on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 13:21:47 from 196.3.39.209

By the way, I don't want to see pictures of the break(it would give me nightmares), I was just trying to gauge how goulish you are...

From Burt on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:07:54 from 72.223.88.98

Tracy - He actually went to school yesterday. Not sure how much he learned since I'm sure he was so hopped up on goof balls.

Tara - Isn't it your turn in Draw Something?

Bonnie - It's hard to feel sympathy pains for the same kid who thought it was a good idea to ride his skateboard on the roof of the church. You can see pictures on my wife's Facebook. Aren't you friends with her? You like her more than me anyway.

From Tara on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:29:24 from 75.169.143.244

What!? I better check.

From Bonnie on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:42:31 from 196.3.39.209

On the roof of the church!!!?!?!?! Sounds like my kind of kid!

I love all of my FB friends equally, it just causes trouble to show favoritism ...

From Burt on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:51:22 from 72.223.88.98

You can have him Bonnie.

From Burt on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:51:42 from 72.223.88.98

Sorry Tara. It's my turn. SongPop?

From Tara on Fri, May 10, 2013 at 14:55:17 from 75.169.143.244

mumm humm. As long as I don't have to sing, then have it played back to you when it's your turn.
