A beginning of the year tradition! Alas, neither Ferrell nor I were in top form. Rick was battling a tweeked back from one of his volunteer efforts, and I was battling a cold virus. In fact, I texted him at the my wakeup before dawn that I was too tired, sick, and was going to "bail". Then, after being awake another half hour, changed my mind and drove myself down to Carmel. No problem for Ferrell, he was bringing Kim this time so we could all have breakfast at Toasties in Pacific Grove afterwards, with Kim's parents.
I didn't see Rick before the start, arriving only 13 minutes ahead of the starting gun. so, a solo selfie.. |
