Some of you may remember that Daddy was training for a 5K fun run ("fun" used here very loosely) last February in the frigid dampness of Valentine's Day weekend. Daddy's new enthusiasm (some people - insert here Mommy - may say obsession) of getting in shape is spreading to the rest of the family. Virg and Emmett have taken up the cause with vigor. They are regularly seen chasing each other around the house with giant exercise balls reinacting the famous boulder scene from the first Indiana Jones movie and snapping each other with various brightly colored rubber exercise bands. Daddy has even talked Mommy into starting a 90-day workout-till-you-drop program of which they are now on day 3 and Mommy is already at the till-you-drop point. But Daddy is not easily discouraged. He has his Jack LaLanne juicer, and he's not afraid to use it. Virg has to keep asking: What interesting and exotic vegetable medley did Daddy put in my morning OJ today?

Alright Emmett, it's the form that counts. Make it burn! You'll be sad when it's over.
