Unofficially, 2:15:06 (I started my stopwatch when they started the 30-second countdown).

I'm thrilled with my time and am heading out for a recovery hamburger.

Update: Here's me coming into the finish.

We had a great time in Houston this week and were VERY busy.

Hot, Hot, Hot

87ยฐ at 10:30 at night in Houston is just ridiculous.

As is 106ยฐ at 6:30 in the evening in San Antonio.

Of course 106 feels like 106 in San Antonio, while 87 in Houston feels like... 106.

Unwelcome Visitor

Guess who we found, living in our garage?

A 4 ยฝ foot-long gopher snake!

Okay, maybe it wasn't over 4-feet. But still!

I first noticed him/her/it in the pan of our water heater yesterday. We left the garage door open hoping he/she/it would excuse itself and we didn't see it later in the day. However it was back this morning and had to be dealt with.

Now I would love to tell you that I was brave and handled the situation with manly resolve. Instead I probably made the situation worse. I was able to get the snake out of the pan, but it wedged itself behind our furnace and in the end, I had to be bailed out by our 15 year-old neighbor.

He helped me... sorry, that's not true. I helped him grab the snake and then release it over the hill behind the house.

Quite the afternoon.
