This past Saturday, we took to the pavement for the Pumpkin Run out in Chesterfield for breakfast, and then headed down to the CWE Dog Parade for lunch. These combined events made for a perfect opportunity to update the wedding site . . .

The run was a 10K and Kristi and I both placed highly in our age groups (not that we are competitive runners). We always start in the back so our chip times suck but our overall times are much better. It was a great morning for a run through a flood plain though, let me tell you. Fun times.

After that, we headed down to the West End with Kristi’s dog Minnie to take part in the Halloween dog parade down there. I was pretty surprised at the turnout of people and canines. The neighborhood erects a stage around the intersection of Maryland and Euclid every year and has separate competitions for kids, dogs and adults throughout the day.

Minnie decided to come dressed as Snow White. She was a good sport about it all and she met a lot of new dogs. And there were over 50 dog/owner combinations to take the stage before we decided to roll to Pickles - people really get into it. I think all of you out there who have dogs would enjoy hitting up this parade next year. We’ll probably be there.

The rest of the day involved watching hockey and eating at Boogaloo. Unfortunately, all pictures of my paella have been destroyed. Later on y’all.
