I was driving by the Fountain of Youth today and it made me think of Ponce de Leon, aka, Dave Kendal. Then I remembered our run with Meg and Rusty and the dogs in Paris Mountain State Park outside Greenville, SC where Meg and Rusty got us lost and added miles and minutes to our run, and lots of up hill running we didn't have to do. I promised them explorers' names in the tradition of the lost running leaders from Seattle, Steve Martin, Magellan, Les Soule, Vasgo de Gama and of course Dave or Poncey as we call him.
Anyway because Rusty works at Duke with many business men from India I have dubbed him Marco Polo. And because I like the name Amerigo, I dubbed Meg, Amerigo Vespucci, who North America is named after. So there you have it, two new explorers. You too can be an explorer and obtain a moniker just like these famous folks, all you have to do is take people on a run and get them lost so that they get mad at you and very tired. Simple.
We are spending our last day in St Augustine, FL today and will head for Melbourne Beach tomorrow. It is close to Cape Canavaral and we want to visit. I hear if you talk to the right guys they will shoot off a space shuttle while you are there. Either that or a couple of bottle rockets. Anyway still cool and breezy in Florida. Suzy is upset that she will not get to try out the new string bikini she bought for the Florida Beaches. Supposed to warm up next week.
