G and I ran the Detroit Marathon yesterday and did pretty well - 3:50. Neither of us had particularly great training leading up to this one, so we were a little surprise about the time. Shoot, I was just hoping to have a good day and break 4:00. Thanks to PHiL, we have some great photos to post. I'll have those up later tonight.

I've been thinking a lot about our good friends in south Florida today. Wilma is just pounding them. I hope they are okay.

UPDATE: Marathon photos are up here.

Another shot of Gretchen in the kitchen. I'm really just posting this to see how the blog upload from flickr works.

G and I went down to the condo yesterday to pick out a new type of granite for our bathroom. The piece that was orginally meant for our bathroom was cut wrong and unusable. So, we got to go up and see the progress on our place while we were there.

Most everything is done. I few things remain, such as blinds, closet cabinets and bathroom granite. It looks fantastic and we can't wait to get in. We hear that they are hoping to start moving people in December 10th, but we don't have a date just yet.

Here is a photo of G in our kitchen.



UPDTATE: I've posted a photo gallery here.

The Reds today kicked off their new exhibit honoring the 1990 Reds World Series Championship. I ended up getting a chance to talk with former Reds Tom Browning, Todd Benzinger and Ron Oester. All three were really nice and told some fun stories about their playing careers and the year they won it all. Not a lot of people were at the event, so it was perfect to chat with the guys and get their autographs.

Here's a photo of Tom Browning, aka Mr. Perfect throwing balls from the mound in speed pitch booth at the museum. The photos were taken behind a plastic window that looked through an umpire's mask toward the mound.



Here are Todd Benzinger, Museum Director Greg Rhodes, Tom Browning and Ron Oester.
