September 11th is a day our generations will never forget.  It shook us to our core.  It reminded us of our vulnerabilities.  And it reminded us that United We Stand.  My thanks goes out to the firefighters and the workers that worked tirelessly repairing the cities. And my support goes out to those who had a loved one pass that day or the innocent bystander that had to witness the events first hand. Please take a moment today to consider what positive steps you can take in remembrance of this tragic day.
____________________________________________________________Ocean Preservation: As many of you know, I will be taking on the Santa Barbara Channel Friday at 12 midnight via a relay swim.  What many of you don’t know is it benefits an incredible cause.  Should you be moved to support ocean conservation and underprivileged youth getting the opportunity to experience the Channel Islands first hand, please call or email me.  The benefiting organization is the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.  My intent is to raise $400 ($10 x 40 people).  In either case, please pray for the sharks to be full from an earlier dinner and less than curious to replay Jaws.

A  beautiful and wonderful woman walk jogged into our lives one sunny day last summer.  She quietly brightened our days, this woman from the Bay Area.  She asked all the right questions at the most appropriate of times.  She came prepared each Saturday. She handed out Jolly Ranchers and pretzels when we were exhausted from a long run.  And she shed marathon wisdom upon her fearless comrades.Carolyn Samuels, you were loved by all you touched and will be missed by many.(see below for Memorial details)
