Running!
I can't believe I just did what I just did! I ran 5 miles! All at once. By myself. In 1 hour and 1 minute. Ok, so speed isn't what I'm going for. FINISHING is what I'm going for.
And finish is what I did. That is to say I finished one week of Chicago Marathon training. The training is 16 weeks, and the marathon is 26.2 miles.
Why am I doing this? Not because I love to run. No way. But I love how I feel after I run. I feel strong, confident, proud, fit, alive. I feel it more the more I run. And the more I feel it the more I want to run again. Crazy? Yes...but so good.

Dancing Queen
" नाचना का रानी "
(From left to right: Zane, Sunil, Bebe, John, Tyler [in red], and Alpesh) Enjoying some association at Rick and Shilpa's house with friends from the Detroit Hindi Group led to banghra dancing. Brother Thakkar insisted that all the brothers get out and dance, and then his mother, Bebe, joined in. Priceless. We really enjoyed meeting them and can't wait to see them at the upcoming assembly in New Jersey.
(जैन, सुनील, बेबे, युहन्न, ताइलर, और अलपेश) रिक और शिल्पा का घर में, खनने के बाद हम ने बंघ्रा नचा। थककर-भाई ने कहा की सब भाई नाचना चाहिए। तो उसने किया। और इस के बाद उसकी माता भी! हमने उसके मिलकर से बहूत खुशी मिला।

Flower Lady
This is from last year, April 2007. Cathy is modeling some very lovely longstem roses. Classic really, they can go with just about anything. These went very nicely into wedding boutonnières. Some people go with another timeless choice, carnations. But this is not a picture of Cathy with carnations, so let us not get off the point.

I *heart* NY
Ah, there's nothing like a cruise. Unfortunately we didn't take one last weekend, but we did go to New York with Rachel and Paula. And what fun we had!
Leaving Thursday night after everyone got off work, we made it to the city in a mere 14 hours! PS-We didn't have to pay for parking all weekend long, it was great!
Rachel and Paula stayed with friends who live at the Sands and we stayed in a guest room there too. Zane's lifelong dream of being at morning worship was fulfilled on Saturday and Monday too. It was a great trip. Saturday we went to the beach and, as Rachel says, the ocean made mixed drinks with us. We battled the waves and played volleyball.
We didn't take that many pictures but you're welcome to view the video montage I made. Don't forget to turn on your speakers, there's music too!
