Beautiful day for our event at Woodridge. Eric s and I put this event together, as part of my goal to start training the next generation to help with events. I got there early to put out markers on the white course. It was chilly to start, but was sunny and 12 at race time. We had a lot of new comers, including 20+ boy scouts (but only 30 official starts, the boy scouts went in groups of 5). Everyone seemed to have a good time, and lots of folks asked for a list of upcoming events.
We got home, unpacked the car and were starting to relax and enjoy a Valentine's Day dinner. Then we got The Call. My dad had been in hospice for a week or so, and we knew the end was near. He passed away this evening. I'm still a little numb, but Mike is taking good care of me.
