Tyler's Run

For several weeks, Ty has been running at school. His goal was to complete 25.2 miles before the Colfax Marathon held today in downtown Denver. He would usually run 3 to 4 miles at a time. (Definitely not his father's son.) Yesterday, he ran the final mile of his "marathon." He did it in a little over 6 minutes, not too shabby. He plans to run other events this summer with Les.

Week in review

Here's some highlights from the week:

1. Had a meeting with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. It was just him and about 30 interns from Utah schools. He was quite the character. He told funny stories, used the phrase "Joe Sixpack" and accused one kid of trying to get him recused from an upcoming case. We toured the Supreme Court chambers after the meeting.

2. Got a letter from a lady who is concerned that she is hooked up to a contraption that is causing a lot of "chitter-chatter" in her head. The best part? When I showed it to another guy in the office and he said, "Oh, is that the lady from Pleasant Grove again?"

3. Ate a Prez. Obama burger (follow the link to the menu, it was one good burger) at Good Stuff Eatery. As my friend said, "the burger is so good it will melt your face off."

4. Met someone from Wenatchee, WA on the Metro. They were on their way back to Spokane after a vacation in NC.

My Grand Parents

My Grandma and Grandpa Zirker

I was looking through some old pictures and found this one. It is a little "closer up" of my G&G Zirker.

Well, we're still here after a day of gusty winds yesterday. It was UofI graduation and since the Dome is under construction they had graduation outside on the football practice field. The weather report called for rain, wind, hail, and a possible tornado. Alas, we just had the wind. Now this morning the wind has died down and it is 20 degrees cooler.

Yesterday Mom, Matt, Lacey and I went to the funeral for Devin Ossinger and his wife's baby daughter. They think she died just before time to be born. We went to the cemetery too, kind of sad.

We are still hoping for summer one of these days. Fathers and Sons outing is coming up in about three weeks so summer must be just around the corner.
