All moved in
Our move to our new house is complete.  Well, by that I mean the apartment has been sold and all our stuff is in the house.  We are currently living amongst a zillion boxes, and it will probably be quite a while before we get everything squared away.  Knowing us, it'll be a few years.  Or decades. 

We've already spent a ton of money on new things for the house: Furniture, a TV, rugs, lawn care items, etc.  And there's still plenty left to buy.  Well, it's not like we didn't know this would be expensive...
 
One other bit of news: I have registered for my next marathon.  This one will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Why Tulsa?  Well, if I want to do the 50 state thing, I need them all some day.  This one fits into the schedule nicely, and I was able to get plane ticket there with my Frequent Flier miles.  So basically it met all my criteria.  So it's off to Oklahoma I go for 48 hours in November.  Should be fun...

The big move


Yes, this is the week.  We have sold our apartment and will be moving into a house on Friday.  It's not a very far move.  The house is only about 2.5 miles away from the apartment.  But still, moving is very time-consuming.  We've lived in the apartment for many years, so there are plenty of roots that need digging up -- not to mention closets that need cleaning out, etc.

But of course, we're quite excited about getting a house.  We think the new place is in a terrific location, and the house has just about everything we really wanted.  I will try to post more details once we get settled in.

In other news, I ran the New Haven Road Race again this year. Thankfully, I seem to be fully healed from the broken ankle, so I was able to participate without any problems.  The weather on Labor Day was very nice for a run: sunny and not too warm.  While the ankle didn't affect me, I am still slower than I used to be.  My best time for the 20k distance is 1:41:28.  For this race, my time was 1:47:25. Nonetheless, I am still pleased.  I ran the second half quite a bit faster than the first half, and I was still feeling strong at the end. I know I could have pushed more if I needed to.  For now, I just wanted to make sure I could handle a race of this distance.  I am sufficiently pleased to the point where I am ready to begin a marathon training plan. I just haven't figured out what marathon I might be training for.

Lastly, Jillian's website has been update with some new pictures. Please check them out...

Welcome to Bob Mann's web page.  I was looking around the internet recently and I thought to myself, "Gee, there aren't enough blogs out there.  What the world really needs is one more idiot throwing his every moronic thought into cyberspace."  And thus this page was born.

Of course, this site is a work in progress, and probably will remain so for quite a while.  Please feel free to poke around as much as you'd like.  And please send me any comments you may have.  Idiots like me who make these sites couldn't possibly make them better without input from idiots like you!
