I took this photo, bow down to the overt artistic talent
Oh hello there EN, guess who’s on link duty today! I can think of no higher honor than being the the one to type up your morning reader. Although I wouldn’t say no to an Oscar (I apologize for using a double negative in my first paragraph on a Saturday morning. We all know it’s a little difficult to read after those crazy competitor parties).
Speaking of competitor parties, I was lucky enough to be at the lovely Plantation Field CIC all day yesterday. If you haven’t already heard about all the cool things they are doing this year (cue a brand new arena, new water complex, cool sponsors, and REALLY cool polo shirts. Who goes to events for a ribbon? I definitely go for the trendy farm apparel) I suggest you drive over and see it for yourself. Not within range? I suggest you plan on attending next year. Walk, run, swim, fly on your magic carpet, whatever. It’s worth it.
Even if you are not hanging in Pennsylvania this weekend, there are plenty of other fantastic competitions happening around the country. Now I’ll stop yapping and let you see for yourself. Here are your links and scores:
