And I really needed that. Got my first run in this week which felt good.. Then puttered  around the house.

That&#8217;s pretty good ! <\/p>\n<p>Around 7 our friends Ellen and Gerry came over for dinner. They&#8217;re from Houston.. Ellen is here to  compete in a triathlon which she did this morning. She&#8217;s a pretty serious competitor in the woman&#8217;s 50-54category and travels round the country running, swimming and riding her titanium bike.  Ellen and I have known each other a longggggg time&#8230; Since 1976.. We dated in high school and have stayed in touch since.   Ellen and Terry were  last here at our 10th anniversary party.. In 1996.. I think I last saw them at their wedding .. Which was in 1999 I think. It was fun catching up and figuring out what all our old friends we&#8217;re up to. When it came down to it, neither of us is that good at staying  in touch with high school friends others than each other.<\/p>\n<p>I was glad that gabe was able to join us for dinner.. I think it was cool for him to meet a friend of mine that I&#8217;ve known since I was his age now<\/p>\n<p><center><a href='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/3E80CC2E-F26A-4593-A5A8-0463E1D74F7C2.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/3E80CC2E-F26A-4593-A5A8-0463E1D74F7C2.jpg' border='0' width='700' height='525' style='margin:5px'><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/A6EECDB7-5692-4513-91A7-5CE778F106803.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/A6EECDB7-5692-4513-91A7-5CE778F106803.jpg' border='0' width='700' height='525' style='margin:5px'><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/4487A314-3ED7-49E6-A808-713C7E31919D4.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/4487A314-3ED7-49E6-A808-713C7E31919D4.jpg' border='0' width='700' height='525' style='margin:5px'><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Terry and Ellen are hanging out in Vermont for a few more days.
