The garden in my backyard is finally in place. My roommate John and I planted all the seeds on Sunday and partitioned it off for ease of planting and identification.

We managed to put in 23 different kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Let the second growing season begin! Updates to follow as things progress.

A family camping excursion with my one niece, Heather and two nephews, Gage and Alex. We went down to the actual Lost Falls waterfall.

Pretty great to spend quality time with you all!

Sorry about not having the video working properly.  A little motivation goes a long way.  Cheers!

Here is a link to my race results for the Cannon Falls Duathlon that was held on April 28, 2012. The course consisted of a two mile run, fourteen mile bicycle ride and a final three mile run. Temperatures hovered around the balmy range of 40-45°. Wind and rain persisted throughout, making the event an extra challenge for all. Overall, it was a fantastic event that I plan to attend again in 2013. Got to improve on this year's results. Plus, it would be fantastic to do the cycling portion with more than a single speed Schwinn bicycle. P.S. I will try to update again with race photos.

This is a online documentary called "We Are All Radioactive".  A film crew goes to the region and films the every day lives of the residents from the Japan tsunami area. 

From their website:

Check it out and enjoy!
