Morning Fam,
Wanted to post this link of an editorial piece on Pam and her marathon exploits though the magazine: MIN Online, (http://minonline.com/frontlines/businesscasual/12551.html) I for one am very proud to see my baby's name up in lights (well in print), but none the less proud.
Also, after many months of slipping and sliding, Pam and myself are going to see Daddy's last living relative alive in Barbados next week. Tanty Mildred, is the last sibling of my father, Hugo Abbott, and I hope to get all that information lost to me when he passed away at a young age. For those who have not kept up, this is in conjunction with the genealogy website: wwww.abbottlineage.com. This is more of a family field visit for me, but will also be a nice reward and relaxation for Pam's running this past weekend.
Talk to you when I get back. Oh, Erica is taking her SAT's this Saturday, wish her luck as she continues on her voyage towards college.

We have a Winner!!!
Hi Fam,
After a year of grueling workouts with her boxing coach, a year of running in cold rain and hot weather, Pam have reached the goal she set out for with this year's New York City marathon run.
Last year, she completed the race in just over 5 hours, her best PR before, (personal record) was 4:45.10. Today, all records have been smashed!!! Pam took an AMAZING 40 minutes off that time, to complete the race in a time of 4:05.04, close to just under 3 hours.
Congrats again Pam and great running.

Two Days and Counting!
Hi Fam,
Well, three more days until the day for Pam's Marathon Run. She's been training hard and I expect her to do really well. She will be building up on the carbs for the next couple of days and getting lots of rest. I will post her official time and place Sunday afternoon. Send her your good lucks via her email.
YEAH PAM

Junior Comes to Town
Hi Fam,
Sorry I haven't been up and running with the blog, but this is the reason why. Take a look at this picture!! Every time I jump on the laptop to update, Ms. Penny wants to help. Unfortunately in this household, I have to wait on ALL the women.
Now that her and her brother Scooter are off chasing each other like they stole something, here are some pics from nephew Junior's visit to the Big Apple. Picking up Junior in the morning can be an adventure, especially when he looks like he's ready to go to work on the docks.
However, he was quickly awaken by a pass-a-byer.
We went a little shopping and ended up here for his very first pedicure. If anyone of you know Junior, I can't begin to tell you the noises he was making and the remarks to the ladies, LOL.
After visiting the Barber and a change of clothes, I couldn't recognize the brother. The day he left, we stopped off to give Merlin a going away visit at Prince's school in mid Manhattan.
Lastly, Junior came and chilled out with me at the house before heading back to Brooklyn to catch his plane flight. He's been wanting to meet Pam for the longest, so I obliged him.
It was great having Junior up here these past weeks. He will be moving to Tampa soon and securing a job at the Veterans Association. Also, he will be pursuing a degree in Bio-Engineering next semester at a local college. Good luck and "keep your eyes on the prize, instead of the bamse."
