Someone is using my name in an attempt to scam people. I am not now nor have I ever been looking for any kind of assistant. I certainly wouldn't ever ask anyone to cash a check to me or to make a Western Union payment to anyone else (especially not someone in Manilla!). This is a classic Fake Check scam. Learn more about that at www.fakechecks.org. If you've been in contact with this person, please report them ASAP!

The WWI gallery at the Seattle Museum of Flight is very well put together.  The colors are wonderful.
Brother Dave and I pose at the finish line for a picture.  I'm feeling the need to sit down at this point.  Only one more hill to go (argh!) to the recovery area.
Mom and I pose for a picture right after I finish the race.
Oh man the post race bath feels so good!
