Last week Tom broke his finger. Again. Yes, the same one but in a different location. He was shutting the tailgate on the truck when it bounced back and hit his hand. All of the normal fingers bent and weren't hurt but the finger that was smashed last year doesn't actually bend very well. It got pushed down so hard that the tendon attached to the bone actually pulled a chunk of bone off. Ouch! No surgery for this, the Dr. said the crack would eventually fill in. Does this stop Tom from getting ready to participate in another sprint triathlon? No. Does it stop him from training for a 24 hour relay race? Nope.
We just got back from Arizona. While we were there we had lots and lots of fun. Here are some of the highlights...
We stayed on a little farm and got to feed random veggie crap to some goats every day. They were garbage disposals! Kaelin also got to try milking one. It didn't work out too well but as an added bonus the lady who was milking the goat shot Kaelin in the arm with some milk. Nice shot!
We went through a Cactus Forest. Pretty cool actually. Lots and lots of cactus as far as the eye could see. Glad I wasn't an Arizona pioneer!
Here is a shot of me and Kaelin waiting for the event that we were actually there to see....
The fantastic and wonderful graduation of Jason! He was awarded his PhD in Spanish and is all set to start a fantastic job this fall that seemed to have been created just for him. Major woo hoos for Jason! And a huge sigh of relief for the whole family who can now settle into a more normal life. Well, as normal a life as anyone like Jason could have... ;) (please don't mock the farmer tan!)
