Sunday, April 13
It was a beautiful warm morning and we headed off on our Lifecycle Training ride for the Cheese Factory. I had my bike team fundraising party later that day so I couldn’t do the whole ride. I took a few pics when we stopped in Fairfax. This is Peter with his new bike that he’s very fond of:
And, of course, Miss Armstrong looking a little skeevy:
Monica (looking away), Regan and Courtney. I HORRIFIED Regan soon after this pic was taken. Courtney, not so much.
Kurt was eating an eclair. Not good rest stop food. But what can you do? The kids today…
I headed home through Lucas Valley and then San Rafael and got home around 1. I had lunch and got ready fro the party and then we headed over to Michael Schmucki’s to help set up. I got another shot of the Wisteria which looked and smelled even better today than yesterday:
The party was a resounding success. We raised $8,700 which was terrific. Beau Thompson was our speaker and he did a great job. The party had a Mardi Gras theme. We had King Cake shipped in from Haydel’s in New Orleans and Mr. Poe made Jambalaya and Red Beans and Rice. Donna Sachet even showed up which was lots of fun. I saw an old friend from New Orleans that I hadn’t seen in 15 years! Mr. Poe disappeared during the presentation and it turned out later that he’d had the buffet room to himself and had been pigging out on shellfish. Which is pretty much what I thought he’d been doing. Here are a few of the pics I took:
Fun fact. There were a couple of tries of a picture of Chris and I and this, by a wide margin, had me looking the least drunk. Not good.
I headed home after the part and went to bed. I was beat.
