Welcome, Welcome!

Can you believe we are almost through 2007 already? I was just digesting the fact I have ignored my New Year's resolution and now I see we are nearing the year's half way point. It seems like just yesterday I took over as the managing broker of a local real estate office and Russ started his position as senior counsel for Bechtel.

Carrot and Russ, Mount Rainier - September 2007So what have we been up to in 2007 beside work, getting older and smelling the roses all the while? Maybe quite a bit, but we'll reserve on all that for now. As part of the Russ and Hans mid-life crisis, they decided to climb to the top of Mount Rainier in June. Hans put in a stellar performance and summited on his first attempt. We have twenty four pages of photos from their Mount Rainier Climb!

Cindi and Maxine (now definitively proven to be the real brains of both operations) decided to pass on the hike and did the spa thing instead. The mountain had other ideas for Russ so he and Carrot made a second attempt in September, see Mount Rainier Take 2 for the photos. Alas a blizzard with 40-50 mile per hour sustained winds got in the way of his plans so there will be yet another re-match for Russ and the mountain for 2008.

What else have we been up too? Russ has obviously had a few track dates again this year and is now actually an instructor. It seems he is even making competitive timing around the track now... although he will not tell Maxine exactly what speeds are necessary to reach "competitive" times. This rest of the year is kind of up in the air, unplanned or just tentative right now, but we are planning to end it with a bang!
