I’ve seen movies on Saturday afternoons AND nights. He goes grocery shopping with…

The Races….wait, let me say that again with the proper emphasis and reverence….THE RACES. Simply put, they are the reason we are here. They are the reason the three of us met. They are the reason our tri-guys live, breathe, and obsess. Frankly, they are the ultimate force that our lives seem to orbit around! All of our other posts and topics have life here,…
