I got an email yesterday from Alison. We donated to her cause – the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air Climb. Because “breathing shouldn’t be an uphill climb,” their team (the Mendota Heights Fire Department) climbed 31 floors of 680 stairs, and raised $1500 for ALA!

Alison’s time going up the stairs was 11:11! Dan (carrying 60 pounds of fire gear) finished the uphill in 17:31!!

They plan on going up again next year with new goals – Alison hoping to do 10 minutes or less, and Dan’s goal is under 15 minutes.

Here are pictures Alison sent.

Alison is second from left and Dan is third from right.

Way to go, Alison & Dan!! Good job!

On another accomplishment… word has it that Sparty’s room has been painted! Here’s evidence.

Looks like he’s had help.

Another day in San Francisco and no photos to show for it. 6 hours of workshop and a very tired me. Perhaps I’ll find some spare time and energy today to capture some SF.

Blogged from San Francisco with LOVE!
