David commented on Susana's blog post 'Cancer Survivor Sues over Grilled Chicken Carcinogen'

What a great article. I really didn't know about this issue at all. I didn't see any data though, connecting the fast food to actual cases of cancer. It will be interesting to see what the result of this class-action will be.

David commented on Kristi Rimkus's blog post 'Creamy Stuffed Potatoes with Tender Broccoli and Meaty Mushrooms'

I love this, it looks delicious. I'll pass on the sour cream though--I can't stand any creamy food.

David commented on Susana's blog post 'Is Bagged Salad Safe to Eat?'

Ha! And all this time I thought that the packaged salad was "totally much safer." This is good to know. Excellent post, Susana.

At 5:34am on December 11, 2009, Cheryl Ragsdale said…: Oh what a drag! It's so frustrating to be out with a major - or even a minor - injury. Not being able to follow your regular training routine throws everything off. You sound like a really powerful swimmer. Is Mark Spitz in your family tree? haha!

There's a guy named Arik who was training with us for awhile at FloMAC. He's on the swim team where he goes to school. I'll have to look him up on fb to get the name of his school.

Leaving today for Memphis!! Gonna watch Kenny and Clay knock the stuffing out of each other at UFC 107. Clay's crazy hair will be flying everywhere! Mine too, probably...lol! Have a great weekend!
