Pmaela Rose And Windy City Country

by altardy on June 29, 2011

My daughter was proud to know that her dad got to enjoy a country band.  Country music moved way up on my enjoyment list when I got to hang out with, and listen to, Pam, the band and dancers. They had everyone in the place on the dance floor and shaking their “country thing”.    Notice the little guy […]

by altardy on June 28, 2011

Jim and Joan Thomas were nice enough to let me join each of them during their pre-race laps around the track.  As you can see,  they take  their driving very serious.  You will see in the next entry proof of their skills.   As for me—I was having the timeof my life.

A Few More Pics From Katelynn’s Ride

by altardy on June 9, 2011

Here are a few more pics from the 93.1 Katelynn’s Ride.  You can always tell who is an organizer of an event. Just look for the ones running around like crazy people.  Dan was everywhere but kept that calm cool look as he fielded questions from every direction.  I was able to stop him long enough to get a […]

Where The Heck Is Whitinsville?

by altardy on June 5, 2011

I was looking online for a race for the June3-4 weekend.  I came across a race in Whitinsville, Ma.. Not only had I never heard of the town before, but, it seemed that none of the people I mentioned the town to knew of it’s whereabouts either.  Thank God for yahoo maps. But, traveling to places […]

by altardy on June 5, 2011

That’s right there are 3 Jen’s in these pictures. Randy, Jen and I enjoyed some great conversation and some of the huge food spread after the race. Jennie coaches cross country at Sutton High School  and ran the race side by side with one of the team members.  I could hear her words of encouragement as we were […]
