Kathy & I saw the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra perform “Scaling Infinity”. It was beautiful. Thanks to my parents for the gift certificates, there really isn’t anything quite like hearing a world class orchestra live.
Well, I am a triathlon addict. I completed the St. Peter’s Rec-Plex Triathlon. I finished 12/43 in my age group and 106/424 overall. Fairly pleased since I had not been working out much. The bike route was very fast and I averaged over 17mph (MapMyTri thought i did 18mph)! My slowest swim so far, but I was being very conservative on the swim. Looking forward to next year… if I can squeeze in the workouts!
I started a new job at Mobile Armor. To celebrate the change, Kathy & I spent a nice night out in Forest Park. We walked around the Zoo and then took out a paddle boat from the Boathouse. These are two of our favorite places in St. Louis and they each are uniquely St. Louis. We capped off the evening with a great dinner at the Boathouse. One nice touch was that, while on the paddle boats, we stumbled across a live concert that was part of the Taste of St. Louis. The obligatory picture gallery is here.
My parents came up for a very nice visit on Labor Day weekend. They helped us with some projects around the house, took us to the dog park, took out a kayak, watched me sail, and supported me in my triathlon efforts. My dad’s pictures are up here
Today, Kathy took me to the City Museum. Wow! That was a lot of fun. Strongly encourage you to bring your child there. As ours was not yet ready, we had to bring our inner-child. It was a blast! Hard to describe. The best description I have heard referring to it was a “surrealist landscape”, I would add “that begs to be explored.” Please enjoy the picture gallery here.
