The Strange Things That Can Bring Back a Memory ...

You know, it's funny the things that can make you remember something.  I was going through the drive through yesterday at Hardee's and saw a sign that brought back memories from childhood!

My father, my sister, and I used to go to Myrtle Beach almost every weekend when I was younger.  It was always our special get away.  During our trips we would always have one night that we would get dressed up and go out to a really nice restaurant.  On one such trip we picked an Italian restaurant.  We waited for our table and then the three of us headed to our table.  Deciding that the best pizza is always from a true Italian restaurant (and that is what it looked like we had found) we quickly decided that is what we would have.  When the waitress came to take our drink order and give us the menus, my dad told her we already knew what we wanted.  We wanted a large pizza, dripping with extra cheese, peperoni (and whatever other toppings Dad was going to make us pick off).  The waitress looked like we had kicked her in the stomach!  She quickly informed us that this was a "sit down" restaurant and that they did NOT serve something as common as pizza!  My sister and I were stunned, what did that mean?  My father, was pissed, now you are treating his family as if they are beneath you?  If I remember correctly we quickly found a small home owned Italian restaurant and had some of the best pizza I have ever had!  Silly story brought back by an even sillier sign.  I still have to ask the question.....What is a "Sit-Down" restaurant?  And has anyone ever seen a restaurant where you are made to stand?

SWVRRC New Website Address is Announced

***This is a duplicate post also posted on swvrrc.blogspot.com.  I just wanted to make sure that everyone saw the new web addresses and the added photo site***

 

Thanks so much for all of the hard work that Karen has done to keep our website going and to deal with the process of moving it to our own dedicated site.  Great work Karen!  She has also set up a SWVRRC page on shutter fly (I have added the link on right side under web links).  So please browse around the two sites.  One has scores of information on running training, and other great help articles and the shutterfly account shows  all of the great races where all our running club has been! http://swvrrc.shutterfly.com/

The Southern West Virginia Road Runners Club now has their official domain.  The address is  http://swvrrc.org   Please bookmark this address in your favorites and delete the old.    The old will direct you to the new domain for a short period of time.  After a couple of weeks of redirecting, it will be totally deleted.

Basically, the site still looks the same with some changes:

1.       Under the schedule tab, you will see a “Revised Date” column to assist you with knowing when a change  (date, website, entry form, etc) was made to  the information posted.

2.       Under the club info tab, training materials will be added soon to assist you with your running goals.

3.       Under the photo tab, major additions were added.  As many of you know, when I am able to attend a race, I have been taking a lot of pictures.  Since I have too many pictures to post on the website, I have started a SWVRRC shutterfly site at http://swvrrc.shutterfly.com/   I plan to post a few pictures on the website, but will be uploading ALL pictures on the shutterfly account.  If anyone takes pictures at the races, please email them to my home address at kgordon@citlink.net and I will upload them to the shutterfly account.  For the album covers I have chosen to use the race t-shirts; therefore, if you send me pictures of a race, please include a picture of the t-shirt.  As of today, there are 27 albums on the account.  Check out the pictures that have NEVER been seen….victory smiles, friends supporting friends, pets and owners, children enjoying fun runs, agony and pain. 

If you see any problems, with the website, please let me know by email at kgordon@citlink.net

Safe Running,

Karen
