A Stormy Beach Weekend and a new iPhone

Stormy Sky at the Beach
Originally uploaded by CellPhoneSusie

The disappointment at the bad weather during the majority of my only beach visit this season was offset by the fun I had testing out my new 3gs iPhone. After resisting a move to the iPhone for 2 years, then watching how well it performed for Erik on the recent South trip, I was sold and just had to wait for the 3rd generation to come out. I reserved one, stood in line at the Greensboro Apple store on the release day, and had a fabulous time learning how to use it over this Rehoboth weekend. The 3 megapixel camera is very nice, as is the video capability. I love the apps that are available too.

A Very Busy Spring

Successful Triathlete Librarians

I just realized that my last posting was over 2 months ago. This isn't because my spring has been boring. Quite the contrary - I have been so busy that blogging has taken a back seat to trying to stay on top of things!

April saw the start of the triathlon season, which is going to be more low key this season, strictly because of all the other obligations I have going. But I did manage to try a new race at Belew's Lake in April (where I won my age by default) and co mpl ete a half ironman at White Lake, NC in early May (did poorly due to the heat, but proved I am not a quitter!).

Mother's Day came along somewhere in May:


Ron's 60th Birthday wasn't far behind and we had a big party to celebrate:




Then, on May 24, I left town for 17 days, going on the Social Stratification in the Deep South class trip once again, this time with Erik along to work alongside. You can see what I spent my time doing by looking at the class facebook page, twitter stream and flickr site. A few postings by Erik and me give an idea of the experience. We just arrived back in W-S on Tuesday, and there is enough pent up stuff that has to be taken care of now, it will probably be another month before I have a chance to do another update!
