Aaron and Dad on Lake Washington

Aaron and Dad did a few of the Sound Rowers (http://www.soundrowers.org) distance races this year including the Mercer Island Sausage Fest (they serve sausages at the end of the race).  Aaron did the 13.1 mile distance race, which went all the way around Mercer Island, and was 2nd in the HPK (surfski) category behind 2 time Olympic gold medalist Greg Barton.  Dad did the short course against not as much competion and was first in the HPK division.

New Water Heater

Our water heater at Breezy Point finally died and we had to get a new one.  The only interesting thing about that is that our plumber, who has been in the business for a while, is pretty sure it's the oldest water heater he's ever replaced.  It has a date from the 1950s on it and a Sears Roebuck placard.
