Weekend Craziness

One Van Plan was a successful venture! We weren't sure if we were going to get enough sleep, if the smell of twelve sweaty runners in one van was going to be overwhelming, and if we were going to be sick of one another after 30 hours together. But it turned out to be really fun. We were a pretty fast team and we passed quite a few other teams and everyone in our van was pretty pleasant.

The day after Ragnar, Chris and I were both feeling surprisingly good, so we decided to go for a hike up the Big Cottonwood Canyon with my sister and her family. It was beautiful and the weather was lovely and the company was good. So overall, it was a great weekend.

A Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?/ Does it dry up/ like a raisin in the sun?/ Or fester like a sore--/ and then run?/ Does it stink like rotten meat?/ Or crust and sugar over--/ like a syrupy sweet?/ Maybe it just sags/ like a heavy load./ Or does it explode?
