Hey Everyone,
It's been a little while since I've shared. I think the last time I was in Steamboat and very busy. It was really nice to be back in CO. I ran in the Teva Mtn Games and hung out with Sophie and some of her friends. We also bumped into Anna Bruno in Vail. Then I visited Val and Mr. Luckenfeelings. It sounded like they had a really really difficult summer of traveling and playing outside ahead. I was pretty jealous. I also spent a day with Katie Price and Kyle Haskett in Boulder. They're doing well, and KP's puppy is unbelievably cute.
Since I've been back in Maine, I think I've spent more time in Fort Kent than in MadTown. The US women's biathlon team was in town, so I was over there a lot helping with coaching and hanging out. It's been a fun summer so far although there hasn't exactly been an abundance of sun (I'm sure you other East Coast folks know what I'm talkin about).
My vegetable garden is growing, which makes me very happy. I really like tending it, and I've even harvested some lettuce and snow peas already. It's a little garden, but I'm making a good go of things. I've got the affore-mentioned veggies in addition to spinach, cucumbers, hot peppers, and carrots. I also have rosemary, basil, oregano, and mint in pots at my house. It's pretty awesome. For those of you who know my pineapple plants, Scrappy Jr. and Scrappy III are also hanging in there. Scrappy Jr. was sick for a little while, but I gave him some new soil, and I'm hoping he'll recover. I'll let you know if there are any more additions to the family.
My boss took the other coaches and I on a retreat recently to discuss the future of skiing in Maine. We went to a Sea Dogs game in Portland, but it was kind of a disaster. The starting pitcher began the game something like this: hit batter, walk, walk, strike out, walk, hit batter, double, home run, walk, double. At that point it was 7-0 with one out in the top of the first... We didn't pay much attention after that. It was funny though.
I hope you all enjoyed the 4th of July. It was very low-key here because the Acadian Festival last week, which is a very big deal. There were live bands, and bed races, and lots of people, and I got really drunk at the street dance and was pretty ridiculous. I want to quickly describe the bed races because it was quite a scene. I outfitted most of the women's national biathlon team with gear from my costume box, and we proceeded to push suped-up twin beds with bike wheels in head-to-head races against other folks in town down main street with hundred of spectators (most of whom had the same last name) cheering.
