Milk, it does...
Milk is said to do a body good, but in Germany it appears that milk does a few fields good. Well, we are looking at farmers protesting low milk prices.

Well, well
This might have been the longest break I have taken from this blog. Maybe I have too many things going on. :-)

The September 2010 target
On Monday I registered for the 2010 Ironman Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. Race date is September 12, 2010. Below is the list of folks who qualified this year for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Well, they qualified in this year's race for the 2011 race in Hawaii. But that gives me a rough idea how fast I will have to be next year in Madison if I want to race in Kona in 2012. :-)

A nice visit...
Paul and Anita came to visit us this weekend and they arrived Friday evening. Pete was very excited to see them, and they were equally happy to see Pete. After showing them around in the new home we went out for dinner to the Village Tavern in Reynolda Village. We ate outside and the temperatures were perfect indeed. We chatted forever and got home pretty late.
Saturday morning we headed out for a bike ride and did about 45 miles
Are you taking a picture of me?
It was a beautiful day for a bike ride
Cruising along Baltimore Road towards Flint Hill Road
Amy, Paul and Anita in our driveway after the ride
I was wearing an older kit from the Wangener Rad Union
Late lunch at Ollie's bakery and Paul and Anita had tomato soup and focaccia bread
Amy and I had salmon and cream cheese on delicious rolls
I love strawberry tarts with custard. Yum
Paul could not wait digging into that chocolate cake
Everybody looks a bit confused after a light afternoon nap
After dinner at Mozelle's Saturday night we walked back to our house
Sunday morning we did a trail run at Salem Lake and after getting cleaned up we had brunch at 1st Street Draught House. Another place that is in relative easy walking distance from our house. Food was very good and the place itself is quite nice. Anita and Paul both said that this would be their favorite hang out if they lived as close to that place. But commuting there from Chattanooga would be quite a stretch.
