My Friend Willyn's Triathlon Victory!

Willyn Wahl participated in the Danskin Triathlon of Austin, Texas on Sunday, June 10, 2007. It was a hot, muggy day, but she got up early, stuck to it, and finished all three parts (swimming, biking and running) in under 3 hours! Here's a picture gallery.

Congratulations, Willyn!! Way to go!


Kitties we have known ...

As of this writing in July, 2007, we have no more kitties in the household. Life in the country outside of Austin takes its toll, what with all the natural denizens of the area trying to make a living. After our third loss inside a year, we decided not to get another cat for a while. But we have wonderful memories of Spreckles, Vinnie and Frieda.

Here's our very cute first kittycat, Spreckles. She disappeared, alas, in the late summer of 2006.

Our second kitty, Vincent (aka Vinnie, "the Vinster") joined our household in the summer of 2000. He was from Town Lake Animal Center.

And the latest feline member of the family was Frieda. She was certainly a talker!
