Nautica Malibu Triathlon, Facebook, backyard and HEROES!!!

Filed under: General — Frank @ 10:28

I was in California again last week for the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. The celebrities were crazy this year with J. Lo and Matthew McConaughey. I did beat J. Lo but McConaughey took me. He rally just works out all day long so I guess I can’t be too upset about that. And he had a shirt on the whole time… Joel McHale would be sad.

Here’s the Team picture:

I made the plung to facebook finally…

And in Andrea’s realization we live wild and crazy lives, we spent a “sweet little Saturday” in our backyard cleaning up. Huge Thanks to the clean up crew!

HEROES IS BACK TOMORROW!!!!

Another Triathlon and your fun Andrea quotes…

Filed under: General — Frank @ 21:32

I did a Sprint Triathlon at Moss Park this morning. It was a little wet or more accurately swampy in sections but it could have been worse. It rained for days here in Orlando thanks to our friend Tropical Storm Fay.
Also another thing I think I should share with everyone are fun insight’s from Andrea.
Here’s a couple from this week:
“Here I am rock me like a Tropical Storm” (Of course replacing Hurricane since Fay was just a Tropical Storm but was just as annoying)

“Forever is a long time” (Always a classic)

Huge Thanks to Marie from Dixie OES Rescue for finding them a good home… That is Old English Sheepdog for those of you who don’t know the OES acronym (don’t work we didn’t know either until last week).

We did it 1654!!!

Filed under: General — Frank @ 21:39

We finally had one big Disney Team for the IOA Corporate 5K! There were 1654 Cast Member, friends and family participants with a free entry, free shirt and free food (not to mention the free beer provided by Michalob Ultra). It was a great time and I hope we can keep up every year. There has already been a challenge for 2000 participants next year!

On the flip side we took a whopping 4 people to the Nautica South Beach Triathlon. It was the first year for the race but a much smaller team then the 200+ Disney Tri Team members that go out to the Nautica Malibu Triathlon. It was a really pretty race, the swim was right at sunrise, the bike was around islands and cruise ships, lastly the run was down south beach.

Iowa Caucuses

Filed under: General — Frank @ 21:03

It’s Big Caucuses Night! It is exciting television to see people in sitting in a cafeteria or in a house in Persia, Iowa! They just called Mike Huckabee the Republican winner with only 15% of the vote in, seems a little too early to call. The Democratic race is a 3 way tie, Hillary, Obama and Edwards. Also Wolf Blitzer made a mistake and said it was a “3 man race, I mean person”. Old habits die hard Wolfie!

Chase is going where he belongs…

Filed under: General — Frank @ 18:32

Just thought I should share an amazing story about Chase the Dog!

It sounds too good to be real but we got a call last night from Chase’s original owner. He looked last night first time about finding a dog on petfinder.com because he is in a better living situation and thanks to Pet Rescue by Judy he found Chase. This was definitely meant to be! About a year ago the original owner of Chase was a classmate of my wife’s at Rollin’s college and after a lot of harassment by us, we agreed to find him a new home. We found him the home he was in for the last year but then got the call Sunday that we knew Chase needed to be placed somewhere else. My wife looked for the original owner’s email but only had his Rollins email account that no longer worked. So we moved forward with getting Pet Rescue by Judy’s assistance to find him the best forever family as possible. As luck would have it we found his original family!
