Three Things

This edition of Three Thing Thursday is brought to you by a week from hell very busy week that included a day like yesterday, when I left the house at 6:15 a.m., drove 50 miles to work, worked, drove another 40 miles to pick up Daughter from school, drove another 20-30 miles in the opposite direction to West Point to attend Son's district track that started at 2:00 p.m. and ended wait, has it ended yet? well past 7:30 p.m., then drove another 30-40 miles home and stumbled in the door at approximately 9:15 p.m.

The part of this blog dedicated to complaining numbers and run-on sentences is now over.

Here are my three things in no particular order.

1. Son is going to the regional track meet next week for 300 meter hurdles and 4x400 relay (otherwise known--30 years ago--as the mile relay. They insist on confusing matters with this 4 by 400 business, causing those who are challenged by ADD meters numbers to shake their heads and spend way too much time wondering why they don't just call it the mile relay.).

2. While Mathews County holds the title for World's Worst Mosquitoes and Highest Concentration of Ants in the Galaxy, West Point on a hot, muggy afternoon of track and field events (when one's endurance is already being tested) holds the record for Most Biting, Swarming, Mind-Game-Playing Gnats in the Universe.  They were so thick I swallowed a handful  just trying to draw a breath and had them crawling on me like fleas for four. Solid. Hours. In sweltering heat.

3. Along with all the bikers who will descend this weekend for the Tour de Chesapeake, a friend who has never seen Mathews will be in town, and I'm looking forward to providing the Tour de Mathews.

What three things are on your mind at the moment?
