... it's SuperKid. Here's my son on his way to victory and a new course record in an 8K Eurocross last Saturday. He got dinner for two at Outback too. He hasn't told me yet when he's taking me to eat.  Eurocross winner

I'm currently accepting bids.  As far as I know he's unattached. He mentioned that the girl he used to date has moved to Alaska to work on a fishing boat.

WTG, Superkid! (Adam, right?) I remember you bragging on his running Be sure to let him know he's getting congratulated from all around the world! PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Yep, that's Adam. He's a rising senior in college (where did the time go?). His older brother graduated from college last month with a double major in Architecture and Interior Architecture, got engaged in April, and moved to Atlanta a few weeks ago to start his new job with a mid-size architectural firm. Did I ask where the time went already? How can I have children who are 21 and 25 when I'm only 29?

Congrats Adam!! some questions: Why do they call it the Eurocross when you live in Alabama? Also, this Outback resturant,is it Aussie? What do they serve? I'm thinking Kangaroo, emu, damper and billy cans. And if they are a top class resturant they would have vegemite on toast

According to my son, a lot of the cross country races in Europe include barriers to hurdle so that's why that race was called a Eurocross. They had not only the hay bales to jump over, but a creek to ford as well. It made it a little harder than just running. Outback restaurants are as American as apple pie. They serve beef, chicken and shrimp, in HUGE portions, along with an appetizer called a Blooming Onion. It's an onion dipped in batter and deep-fried. No vegemite on toast  . I just wish I could find someplace around here that sells the Mighty Mite. Once I learned how to eat it properly, I love it! I also wish I could find TimTams. Oh lordy they are heavenly. You can learn more about Outback Steakhouse here .

Oh my gosh, Tim Tams!!!! Those are amazing. And Flake. Oh my gosh. One of the girls in the Neural Engineering center with a desk across from mine is an Aussie, and she sometimes brings the candy in for the other students. Do you have any World Market stores there? Sometimes I can find Tim Tams there if I am lucky.
According to my sister, Outback Steakhouse is actually owned by the same large corporation as her restaurant, Lonestar Stakehouse. (She is a server there whose life seems to revolve around it.) Interestingly, she has said that there are no Outback restaurants in Autralia, and no Lonestar restaurants in Texas.
Oh, and Congratulations, Adam.

TimTams here . They are to die for. An Australian author sent me a package after I moderated a chat for her. I'll moderate for her any time if it will garner more of these delicious treats.

There seems to be a company in Washington state that will ship Tim Tams anywhere in the U.S. And apparently some small fraction are kosher (those are only available in Israel and Sydney, but may become more widespread), so I'll have to keep my eyes open for those. They look GOOD.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

cross country races in Europe include barriers to hurdle so that's why that race was called a Eurocross ahhh so kinda like a steeplechase. The fact that Tim Tams are not readily available world wide is just wrong! Marilyn, when you get your next tim tams be sure to try the timtam suck. Take a bite off opposite corners then use your timtam like a straw when drinking a hot beverage. Oh and look out for Tia Maria Tim Tams, very YUM!
