Is Tough Mudder the same as other events out there like Muddy Buddy or Warrior Dash?
No. Muddy Buddy and Warrior Dash are both great events and really fun days out, but Tough Mudder is a very different proposition. Our events are three times as long, take place in hostile environments, often at altitude, and are a significant physical and mental challenge. Completing a Tough Mudder requires camaraderie and a degree of toughness that other mud-runs will not even begin to test.

Cheesey
Blue Du Bocage Pascal Beillavaire - I might have a new favorite cheese. This blue goat's milk cheese from France is insanely good. Goaty and creamy with a mild to medium blue kick. It was all I could do to save some for tomorrow.
Comte Grand Affinage - This cooked raw cow's milk cheese from France underwhelmed me at first. Then I took my second bite. Once my taste buds stopped exploding, I realized I had stumbled upon a gem. The buttery nuttiness is great on its own or eaten with fruit. I'm glad I took that second bite.

Efficiency
This is the crew that stood around doing a lot of nothing while we sat on the tarmac in Lima on our way home. For 3 hours. The plane ended up needing a new part. The closest available part of this type was in Chicago. Needless to say, we left 15 hours later. I'm happy to report that the food at the Lima airport is actually pretty good, particularly, the lomo saltado (i.e., salty beef). I didn't want to stoop down to airport ceviche, especially after having it at Pescados Capitales the night before. Mmmmm.

"Mary and Max"
I watched Mary and Max last night with the boys. Great movie on friendship, loneliness, and mental illness. I highly recommend it for adults and children.

Getting shot with a 12 gauge from 30 yards away in the neck and shoulder hurts. I've been peppered before, but this mishap left a 2 inch bruise on my neck. Always wear eye protection kids!

The ongoing News Corp scandal has been fascinating. One of the most powerful men in the world has been taking a shellacking for over a month. The downfall of such men isn't something you see frequently.
