Friday Photo: Ashley Observes
December 30th, 2011
My daughter, Ashley, spent a day observing in my office while she was in town during her winter break from college. Will there be another doctor in the family? Probably not, because it is a long haul to complete four years of medical school after college graduation, then another six years to train as a plastic surgeon. My bet is on a business career or a return to acting for the actress who has fond memories of playing the role of Mackenzie on the “Young and the Restless” before pursuing college as a full-time student. Today is Ashley’s birthday, so Mom and I wish you “Happy Birthday dear daughter!”

December 2nd, 2011
My daughter, Ashley participated in this year’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Here we are at the start of the race and then a nice photo of a familiar river bank site along the course.
The inaugural race began in 1989 in downtown Minneapolis. The LifeTime Fitness Turkey Day 5K has grown to host upwards of 15,000 fun-loving walkers, joggers and runners every Thanksgiving morning since then.
Besides becoming a local tradition for many, the event helps to supply the pantries of local food shelves with a record of 50,000 pounds of food being collected on race day.
