I haven't posted in an awful long time. As is often the case, lots has been going on but for some reason all the activity limits my posts rather than the other way around. For now I'll share some links to a few recent photo albums. Cheers - KB.

 We had Christmas dinner at our good friend Jeanette's house here in Santa Fe. Actually, Christina was with her family in D.C., but my parents, my aunt and uncle, cousins, and assortment of other friends were there and had a fantastic dinner of tenderloin, beans, potatoes, and wine. Delicious.
Jeanette has a very cool house full of books, collectibles, and other interesting items. Hanging on one wall in her kitchen is this incredible painting by Bernadette Vigil. It's a great image of Northern New Mexico, it's also the cover image of Rudolfo Anaya's classic story Bless Me Ultima, one of my favorite books.
Hanging in another area of the house is a second Vigil painting - Jeanette says they know each other and used to hang out occasionally. Uh, pretty amazing. Runner-up cool moment of the evening was during a conversation with another guest who mentioned she used to hang out with "Keith Richards and the Boys" back when she lived in California but before she opened a boutique
 in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Good Lord this is a cool little town.

 Halen still holds a top spot in my "If-Bands-Could-Fight" rating system for best rock-bands of all time. That being said, this new Diamond Dave soundboard link I've run across is yet another reason why the internet is the pinnacle of human innovation.
The soundboard works best if something phenomenal has just occurred, and you feel your own rock-star screams just won't do the moment justice - just click through the links below.

A third straight storm is passing through town today, but we've had rain rather than snow all day. Just now the rain has turned to large blowing snowflakes and my mood has passed from gloomy to awesome.
 We had about 6-8 inches in town Sunday and Monday. The ski area is reporting 30 inches from the storm(s) which is gonna be nice over the Holidays. Christina and I took the ladies out for an evening walk on Monday night where everything was snowed-in and the powder kept on falling. Lots of fun. Ginger wore her fleece camping coat.
This second photo is from Sunday afternoon along the rail trail. I got out for a while and saw miles of beautiful first tracks, both snowy and steely.
|
|
 Our first good snowfall of the year came in Tuesday. We didn't get much in town but there were 2hr delays through most of the northern counties. The mountains looked incredible.
|

 Stina and I rode into town up the newly replaced rail trail last week. They'd tore it up to lay new track and upgrade the easement for the Rail Runner which is beginning service into town in another couple weeks.
We're pretty excited about it as are a lot of people both in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Some people are upset because of the cost (~$400m). I'm impressed that a combination of both technology and mass transit have come to New Mexico before I grew even older. The train's is built with outlets for phones and laptops, should have a wifi-network before long, tickets can be bought online or with a credit/debit card via handhelds operated by the train's conductors. The train also arrives ontime  and under budget. Whomever is maninging this project deserves some kind of distinguished honor or at minimum a promotion.
Here's a picture of Christina in the saddle near Tomasita's with the Sangre's to the north. There's snow up there but my crappy phone-cam doesn't show it. Opening Day incidentaly is next Saturday (12/13). Hopefully we'll get a decent storm or two this week.
The following picture is to the south, showing the new Farmer's Market pavilion and the entrance to the city's new Railyard Park at dusk.
 The rail trail runs it's course and ends south of downtown at either Sangre de Cristo Mtn Works or Tomasita's, depending on whether you're planning a trip or really need a marg. One way is about 3.5 miles from the house making for an easy ride/run. Should one have mechanical problems, the Second Street Brewery is but half the distance...

 I hadn't posted the official results for the Relay and thought I'd better get to it before several months pass. Team McLovin' officially finished 25th out of 143 teams with a time of 25hr 19min (we timed ourselves 10min quicker). Additionally, one team didn't finish and one team was disqualified. Click on the image below for readable finishing times.
Sadly, we only finished 3rd in our own division (5 man ultra-freestyle team), but cleaned the clocks of dozens of teams that ran with 7 or more runners. Most teams had between 10-12 runners rotating through the 30 relay legs. Finishing team statistics include the fastest time: 21hr 26min, slowest time: 32hr 55min, and average time: 27hr 51min. From last year's results we had estimated a finish for ourselves (assuming we did finish) of about 28hrs.
Over the 25hr race I personally logged about 42miles - roughly equal to my highest mileage week from training. Every guy on the team ran over 30miles. Boots ran the quickest splits despite a combined 5000ft of climbing in his relay legs. Mottinger ran out 9 miles of his total after a spell of dehydration that required an i.v. MillerTime hammered all of his relay legs despite a torn ACL and training in the zero-altitude environment of Hawaii. Komar completed his  marathon-plus duty despite a tweaked calf, several thousand feet of leg-numbing downhill, and downing a beer after leg 19. He's a bigger man than I, I was a mess towards the end of this thing.
Looking back, I think the most difficult part of the race was easily the sleep deprivation. My legs didn't feel so bad by the second day of recovery, definitely not as destroyed as with a marathon but i was still dozing off at odd times of day. I have a lot of surreal memories in my head of running in places and in conditions that I would otherwise have no business running in (i.e. up-and-over the Continental Divide during a whiteout, alongside the Eagle River under the light of a full moon, alongside a roaring Colorado river through Glenwood Canyon at 4am). Running with good friends was the way to go as well. I'll probably never forget all the adventures we had packed into that one day.
This last photo here is of Mike and Ben heading out on the last leg of the relay. An old Greek guy once wrote - Victory for the striver washes away the effort of striving; That saying is true on many different levels. Keep striving vatos.

 Team McLovin' made it in to Carbondale! Our unofficial time was something like 25hrs 10min, or less than 9min. per mile. I'd like to say we made it in one piece, but the team was hurting pretty bad in the homestretch. It was remarkable to be able to cover that much ground in that short of time, the guys were just ticking off 6-7 mile legs with no let up - and then bam! we're just outside of Carbondale looking to wrap things up.
We ran into nasty weather in the mountains, wet snow and limited visibility. Footing was bad. Pretty fun though considering. On the back side of the mountains we ran into cramps, fatigue, and general sleep deprivation. Cold beers at the finish line kind of made it all go away. All of it except for the feeling of being a badass.
I'll add some cool details of the exchange legs later. Here's a few photos although it was tough to capture the events of the relay at exchange points themselves.
Photo (1) - Start in Georgetown; (2) Snow on Guenella Pass; (3) Hrs later in  the valley. The whole team is pictured b/c the race was on hold due to more snow on the next pass; (4) At Georgia Pass, Team McLovin' was first to the top, woot!; (5) Ben, Boots, and Mike walking after one of Ben's legs; (6) Boots and Ben screwing around at sunset on Vail Pass; (7) Dr. Miller performing triage on a severely dehydrated Ben; (8)Mottinger, not at his best but the procedure will later proved to have been a success! Dr. Miller also cobbled together a calf injury suffered by Mike; (9) Miller and Boots waiting at an exchange, guy in rear clearly intimidated; (10) Team McLovin' showing immaturity, making fun of odd looking green man; (11) Team in Carbondale enjoying victory beer.

 Whew, apparently I haven't posted in some time. It's easy to grow lazy no matter what the activity may be.
I'm up in Colorado this week to run a trail-run/relay with some friends. The race goes off tomorrow, runs throughout the day, and I imagine we'll finish sometime before noon on Sat. We've been training all summer for this so we're feeling pretty confident about our chances of finishing. Sadly the weather in Boulder today is...cloudy. Ominous.
Well, if you'd like to follow along with the race our team mini-page is here; A description of the race and course is here; and a few teams will be carrying transponders that can be found here under an as-yet posted link 'Spot the Relay'. I believe we'll be pretty close to Team 'Lost in Race' so follow along during the Fri workday and check back in Sat morning to chart our progress in real-time. Comments and discussion can be added to the team mini-page by clicking on the 'discussion' tab at the top of the page. Hope for the best!

 Lots of rain this week. It's suddenly humid, green, and a bit buggy out after one week of rain. Of course most of the rain that came down did so in huge sheets of torrential downpour. The arroyos have been running, and the dirt roads have spilled out onto the paved ones. Large puddles sit on the edges of roads and large runnels have formed on anything dirt and free of plant life.
The first photo at left is a cool looking cholla cactus full of purple blooms, (click the photo for a better view). Real pretty but probably had little to do with the monsoons since they hadn't begun just then. In fact, they were sweeping in that very afternoon, which can be seen in the second photo. I was out riding my bike south of town - the waves of rain that can be seen here looked like they were on this side of the Cerrillos Mtns., with Sandia Peak in the distance to the south and west.
Monday and Tuesday we had massive storms in the foothills that swept the arroyos clean and actually drowned a man several miles away in the southern arm of the Arroyo Chamiso. Bad luck for that dude, the odds of that happening are pretty low all things considered.

 Stina and I spent the Memorial Day weekend up in Boulder with Bryan, Naomi, Kevin, and Samara. It’s been almost a year since we’d been back to our former home city and it was nice to visit our friends and all the familiar places. On Saturday we made it down to Denver and a Rockies game. Sunday we strolled through all the booths at the Boulder Creek Festival, and Monday we ran in the Bolder Boulder along with about 50,000 other people happy to have the day off work. At left is the crew minus Boots and I, waiting for the RTD to shuttle us to the starting line.
Below is the bagpipe crew who traditionally serenade runners at the 6mile marker just before entering Folsom Field for the finish. They’ve fitted the statue of Frank Shorter with his own plaid kit and hat. I will freely point out that I was the champion of the Brennan category of this year’s race <link>. This was possible only because I’ve been putting in the miles for a trail race later this fall, the other Brennans didn’t even see it coming.  Also pictured at left is Stina with Ralphie, and a flier outside a Starbucks in Castlerock advertising a rodeo-bible school. Organized evidently by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys. Couldn’t have made that one up if I tried.

 The Cubs bounce back from a series loss in Tampa Bay to sweep the cross-town White-Sox in Wrigley. The Cubbies are sitting 20 games over .500, and have won 14 straight at home for the first time since 1936.
Sean tells me he's going to fly home from the MidEast should the Cubs go all the way in October. I'm starting to debate what my ceiling is for buying tickets to those games in the eventuality that the stars should align. This figure is slowly creeping upwards... |
|
 The Cubs lost last evening, ending a 9 game win-streak. Great while it lasted, time to begin another streak. One great statistic is that the Cubbies are leading the league in runs scored - the most important factor toward winning games. I'd like to see that stat hold together for the next few months of the season. They're also leading the NL in BAvg., RBI's, and amazingly if you follow this team, second in BB's. Wow.
I ran across a sweet graphic relating baseball clubs and their win-loss records to their payroll costs. The information can be interpreted from a management perspective as which teams have received the highest return on their player investments. Red lines represent underperforming clubs, Blue lines represent overperforming clubs. The steepness of the lines shows the magnitude of under/over performance relative to club payroll. Click on the image for the full graphic.
A couple additions to this analysis: The season is only 1/3rd complete and therefore undertalented teams may have been a bit lucky, or teams with lots of talent may have been a bit unlucky or plagued with injury. These trends can reverse themselves over a 162 game season. Unbalanced schedules may also have an effect. As an example, the Cubbies have played more of their games at home thus far, and their record on the road is not so stellar.
The Cubs look pretty good here although they've got a pretty expensive payroll to begin with. I always rip the Pirates, but per their unimpressive investment they're not doing to badly although I wouldn't be planning to attend any playoff games just yet. The best teams per dollar: The Rays, the Marlins, and the A's (not a surprise: see Michael Lewis' Moneyball) . The worst teams: the Mariners, Detroit, and the Yanks. What in the hell happened to the Tigers? |

 Summer weather has finally arrived here in New Mexico, and the MLBaseball season is in full swing in ball parks across the country. Christina and I made it up to a Rockies/Mets game at Coors Field last week with Samara, Kevin, Naomi, and Bryan. Great day for a game.
Mets put the hurt down on the lowly Rox, 9-2. We were soaking up a few pre-game brews and nachos at a bar across from the stadium and missed the first 5 runs of the game in the top of the 1st. Anyway, that was pretty much the game right there. David Wright and Carlos Delgado both hit one out.
The Cubs of Chicago continue a strong season of their own winning their 4th 5th straight game last night this afternoon against the Rox no less - and claiming title to not just the NL Central Division lead, but the best mark in the Major Leagues. No joke. According to the guys over at BleedCubbieBlue this last occurred on June 28, 1977, so this has happened roughly one other time since I was born. The one unfortunate thing about this beautiful statistic is that it's only May, and there are four months remaining in the season.
 Dempster could be an all-star at 6-2 since moving down from the bullpen, Fukodome plays like Superman in Wrigley and is the most popular player on a team he has less than 200 at-bats for, Marmol and Wood are beginning to make most games a 7 inning affair, and the rest of the lineup get on base and score with regularity. Allstar ballots are out and online votes are being collected so click through and choke that team with a fleet of Cubs' starters already. Woot!

 The once lowly, but now mighty Pittsburgh Penguins have played their way to a Stanley Cup Final appearance. This was an extremely bad team just a couple years ago. Christina and I made it to a few games when we were students and tickets were mighty easy to come by. The photo at left is of me at a Pens/Maple Leafs game. I'm pointing at my hat which says 'USA' because I was harboring little love for Canada that night.
At the time, the team had no notable players, an old crappy stadium (which they still play in, but will be replaced next year), and was being shopped around in a possible sale to another city. In a very lucky and timely turn of events, the team claimed the number 1 pick in the 2004 lottery draft and were able to sign Canadian wunderkind Sidney Crosby. Crosby was the NHL rookie of the year in 05, MVP in 06 and now team captain and Stanley Cup finalist at the age of 20.
The Pens drafted a few other notable players - Evgeni Malkin (awesome Rooskie), Jordan Staal (awesome Canuck) and Andre Fleurry (goalkeeper and oldest of the bunch at 23 yrs old), and with that the Pens are in the freakin' cup! They take on the Yankees of the NHL, the Detroit Red Wings. Pittsburgh isn't having any  of their crap though, and the large wholesalers down in the Strip District are apparently carding any suspected out of towners for octopus purchases to curtail any Detroit celebrations on Pittsburgh ice. |

 GoogleEarth is freaking awesome. This is not the same thing as satellite images of roads and rooftops as seen on GoogleMaps, but rather street level 360 degree images of specific locations.
If you use GoogleMaps to find addresses or cool places to run you will see that in some locations there’s now a ‘street view’ option along with ‘satellite’ and ‘map’ options. Click on this and blue highlights will appear on roadways in which you can click-through and view 360 degree images. When I searched for my parents’ house, I was astonished to see that the image on file included my truck sitting in the driveway! There is no image on file of our new house, but you can see the back of our wall along Zia, and the tops of the trees in our yard.
 Apparently they archived photos by driving a camera down each mapped city street. I know this because if you use the mouse to rotate the image view, you can see the truck and camera casing down at ground level. Kind of amazing. I found that even my Grandmother’s house in Sycamore, IL, is imaged. It’s nice to click through the web and see an image of your Grandma’s home. I did the same to view the FlatIrons of Boulder, CO although they’re a bit distant in the photo.
My in-laws’ place is not mapped, however they have an additional ‘traffic-flow’ option embedded with the GoogleMap of their area, which shows estimated travel and wait-times on the traffic-locked freeways adjacent to metropolitan D.C.
Very cool. Highly suggested for web-surfing, procrastination, and curiosity’s sake.

 Hey, I had a birthday last week. Turning into a foge, I'm now past the half-way point to my Social Security benefits - not that they'll still exist if I can make it to that point. I spent the day working in a windowless office in El Paso, but was fortunate enough to go out to Carinos on 50% off bottled wine nite. Bravo.
On the weekend Christina made me a great cake that looked something like the one at left, although with many more candles...We also took a train tour out to Lamy with my parents to take in some views and eat a nice lunch that Stina had put together. On Saturday we spent time with John and Jen, Mike and Kristin and had a great dinner that John had made up (seared tuna, artichoke, garlic shrimp, champagne!) and tried to play Pop-trivia Trivial Pursuit. Team Brennan had a hard go of it. Mike and Kristin reigned supreme.
Here's a cool list of other April 23rd birthdays that was listed on one of my bookmarked websites. |

 We were hanging out at my parents' last week, watching a bunch of college basketball. West Virginia was crushing Duke and the network named the Mountaineers' Da' Sean Butler as the player of the game. My Mom had a problem with the guy's name since it looks like it was just made up.
My Mom: 'What kind of name is Da' Sean?'
Me: - cynically - 'It's like da' bomb, except Da' Sean, pretty sweet if you ask me.'
My Mom: - derisively - 'Well. I guess he's just King of the Seans.'
Pure gold. It still makes me laugh just typing it.
Update to previous post - Pitt bombed out of the Tourney by losing to the crap-tas-tic Spartans in round II, once again crushing my spirit and my bracket. I'm needing Carolina and UCLA to win out now to walk away with the caysh. Damn you Pittsburgh. The Hoyas failed me too, so damn them as well.

 The boys from Pitt stormed through the Big East Tournament and stole the title away from a talented and number-one seeded Georgetown team last Saturday.
Coach Jamie Dixon is the man, and this year's team may have been his best to date before losing 4 key players to injury in January and falling out of the rankings. Two of these players were back for the tourney as they took out #13 Louisville, #24 Marquette, and #8 Georgetown in 3 successive games to win the toughest conference in the country.
Pitt secured a no. 4 seed in the NCAA Championship Brackets against Oral Roberts. Now, Oral Roberts is usually a mandatory pick for evident reasons, but this year they're going to get their asses handed to them so I'll need to find another cleverly-named team to cast as a long-shot. Pitt also has the softest no. 1 in the bracket, Memphis. Woot!

 I've been trying to get out skiing a bit more this winter, and I've made it up to Santa Fe a couple times, and Taos once with my Father and Christina a couple weeks back. Great snow this year, but with all the traveling we're doing it can be hard to motivate sometimes. In any case, I don't have any great skiing photos to post here so I'll post some photos of the Albuquerque Aquarium instead.
We were down visiting the aquarium in the Fall sometime, the exact date escapes me but I remember it being fairly warm out. It was a great time. We looked at all the wonderful creatures they had there, read a bit about their ecosystems and who eats who and all that, then we cruised out to the concession stand and filled up on nachos and slushies. Gotta love it.
Here's a photo of me with some aquarium stuff in the background; one of Stina climbing into the aquarium - no Babe! the sharks!; one of an incredibly cool looking moray eel, this guy was about three feet high. Just chillin'. There were actually a number of these guys. And lastly a photo of a bunch of irradescent jellyfish. Enjoy.

 Rob and Nychole were in town last weekend for a little Valentine's getaway. We met them at Tomasita's for food and margaritas, then walked across the street to WiLee's Blues Club for drinks and dancing. I don't know about the others but I had a damn fine time, especially knowing that the next day was only Saturday.
Nychole was talking up a music festival involving Willie Nelson which caught my attention. Have to check into that I guess.
Looking forward to hanging with these two at Dodger and Jonika's wedding in Ixtapa, Mexico next weekend.

 It was very nice last Saturday to be home and have the option of preparing my own food. Not microwave food, but just ordinary food not cooked for me at a restaurant.
I made up some pecan waffles for breakfast, and Christina had left me some delicious strawberries to use for a topping. Actually the strawberries had probably seen better days, but they were just a perfect fit for the breakfast I was hoping to put together.
And, voila! Deliciousness. It tasted as good as it looks. Besides pecans, I threw cinnamon, brandy, and an extra egg in there for more 'fla-ahf'. Powdered sugar and maple syrup to nail home to the nerve endings in my mouth that I'm no longer at the Holiday Inn Express Scottsdale.
It was wonderful, and I'm not sure it was on the plate long enough for the two long-eared fur-balls in the house to properly beg.

 I've been working out in Phoenix for the last three weeks, coming home on the weekends. I lost the motivation to post to the Journal for someone reason, which is a shame because we've been pretty active with lots to talk about. It's kind of like making it to the gym really, if you miss a few days you just fall behind.
The Super Bowl of course was played in Phoenix a couple weeks ago although the stadium is on the other side of town then us. I waited to buy a couple of game shirts until they were on crazy-closeout and now they're gone. That's my M.O. on a lot of things really, so no big loss.
In a related Super Bowl activity, Christina and I celebrated Valentine's by heading to Vegas during that weekend. The town was pretty busy and we waited too long to put some money down on the Big Game. The lines at the sports-book were loooooong. Christina has some pictures up of our trip in the link above.
Before Phoenix I was working out of El Paso and Vegas. My morning US Today newspapers tell me of the ice-storms and weather that are punishing much of the country as I wonder around without a jacket (when I'm not hovering over my laptop. It was 74 degrees in Phoenix yesterday.

 Stina and I were in D.C. for Christmas, spending time with the Gheen's and our new niece Leah Iacovelli. She is a real cutie and easy on the crying and fussing and all that.
We spent our first night in the city and visited some of the museums and monuments. Here I am with the Washington Monument, The Congressional Bldg and the old D.C. Post Office, and a photo of the Constitution at the National Archives.
The weather in D.C. was nice and warm. Mrs. Gheen stuffed us all so full of food and cookies that we had trouble doing much else for the next few days.

   One great new tool I found on the web this summer is Google's 'iGoogle' homepage. By setting up an account with Google (or having a gmail account) you can populate a homepage with feeds from the sites around the web that you frequent the most. Every new post pops up on your personalized google homepage so you can scan all new articles, scores, posts, financial data, and weather forecasts in seconds. Attached is a screenshot of the current version of my iGoogle page.
It's also great if you spend a lot of time at work and don't like to appear as though you're bored and spending a few minutes surfing, or if sports or other sites are firewalled from your network (i love my sports ticker, especially during baseball season). Make sure you select a cool theme to make your page just that much cooler. My cityscape theme changes during the day to show morning, afternoon and evening. Purple (shown) is dusk i think. I like to think that genius like this is the reason Google stock is closing in on $700 a share.
My man Mike Komarnitsky showed me how through 'Google Reader' you can also subscribe to friend's blogs or online-journals, and attach your subscription list to your Google homepage to be alerted to any new posts. To subscribe just paste a blog's URL into the subscription bar and you're all set. I love this feature.

 I'm fascinated about running through fresh snow. I especially like how streets and trails are empty after a significant storm, turning everything into a personal running trail. Sound is also muffled letting you hear your footsteps more clearly and little else.
Well, to that end Lucy and I went out for the winter's first snow run and had a great time. Here's a couple of photos of us on the Dale Ball Trail in Santa Fe's east foothills: One of the two of us with the trail and Atalaya mountain in the distance, one of Luce running out ahead. The snow was a bit deep up on the higher ridges but it was great fun nonetheless.
Lucy has yet to get used to being out and off the leash but soon enough she'll realize that Dad tying on his running shoes equals fun.

 Christina and I were at my office holiday party Saturday night in Albuquerque. Actually we were at the Santa Ana Pueblo resort and casino in Bernalillo. It was as fun as an office party can be. I was the only guy not wearing a tie which was kind of a bummer, but for some reason the ties came off before the night was over so I'm not sure too many people noticed.
Afterwards we sauntered over to the casino and I showed Christina how to lose all your money playing roulette. That part wasn't as fun as I'd hoped. Also, you can't drink at the tables in Santa Ana so I was thrown off a bit by the difference with Vegas where it's practically mandatory to do so.
Fun night. Can't believe another year has passed by.
