I love this girl. We bike together and talk. There’s nothing in the world like it. She can carry her end of a converstaion like no seven-year-old I have EVER met. When Lois does her hair like this I call her Gretchen. Sunday we had sweet corn. You should see her eat that.
Here in Oak Brook/Hinsdale there are miles of beautiful, well-maintained bike trails. With the CRIM Race coming up August 26th at the very front door of the hotel in Flint I have been putting in some miles and hours running and riding and our new home is surrounded with great places to do that. Hinsdale is a delightful place to run and bike. The homes and yards of Hinsdale are garden and park-like.
We are dividing our time between Hinsdale, Illinois and Flint, Michigan for another month, after which we should be in Hinsdale for good.
From August 8-11 I will be in Indianapolis speaking at the Advanced Training Institute Regional Training Conference. Take a look at the ATI site for details. I would love to see you and your family there. Check to out here and let me know if you are going to be there. You can buy me coffee for the tip.

On August 26, 2006 I will participate in my fourth CRIM Race. In 2003 I ran the 8K. In 2004 and 2005 I ran the ten-mile. Lord willing, I will run the 10-mile distance again this year. The race is a very big deal in Flint and we have grown to love the event. The Character Inn is the host hotel for the elite athletes and the race begins at the very front door of the hotel and ends on the bricks of Saginaw just two blocks south.
Thursday through Saturday I was with the men of Lighthouse Gospel Fellowship on the shores of Lake Huron north of Sarnia in Ontario, Canada. It was the weekend of the Huron to Mackinac sailboat race so the view from Bluewater Bridge was stunning.
You don’t want to go to Subway with an indecisive person unless you want to be there until your clothes go out of style. There are just too many choices. Too many combinations. Buns, sauces, meats, vegetables, cheeses. Toasted or not. Choices!
Last evening we drove back to Flint from our new home in Hinsdale (a western suburb of Chicago). I saw my new office, got all our furniture and stuff into our new home, and briefly connected with the some of those with whom I will be working in the future.
