Congratulations Ryan and Halle! A fine looking young boy and and a grand day to celebrate!

bill said...

165lbs...and it wasn't pretty.

Also Sandy and I decided to see what it was like jumping up at 4:52 and out the door at 5:10 (not our choosing but a new record for us)...only to find out Sam got up at like 5:05 and Sheena (the undisputed Champion) hit the floor at 5:08 and both got there about the same time we did. We concede.
