Walking for Lungs. Props to Mrs. RSI and all the Morehead, KY Carews for doing the "Climb the Carew" walk up in Cincinnati today. That was walking up 45 flights of stairs in the Carew Tower, the tallest building in Cincinnati to raise money for the American Lung Association. The Carews trace their ancestors back through Ireland to the Carew Castle in Wales. As always, they make those ancestors proud.
The Husband Walk. I'm afraid of heights. So there was no "Climb the Carew" for me. But I did take care of our two daughters and their stream of friends while their mom was climbing in Cincinnati. After two marriages, doing the good husband walk isn't really that hard anymore and I didn't have to stop for oxygen like the Carew Tower climbers. But there was breakfast and lunch to get, picking up to do, clothes to wash, and lessons to teach one of my daughters about drawing up lists. For someone who hates cleaning up, I did ok.
A Standing "O" for Sportsmanship. Yesterday, Mrs. RSI and I went to the banquet for the Kentucky Middle School Speech Tournament. Our home team from Rowan County had won the state tournament 16 times in a row and our oldest daughter was on the team. This wasn't our year though. Only two of the kids on the Rowan County team finished in first place and a team from Ockerman Middle School in Boone County slipped through for the victory. Like the kids, parents were disappointed at losing. But every parent at our table gave the champions from Ockerman a standing ovation when they were announced. Believing in sportsmanship, we were happy to provide our kids with proper role models at a sensitive moment. I also took the opportunity to congratulate Kelly Crump, Rowan County Middle School's outstanding speech coach, on her team's successful season and her excellent work with my daughter.
