Alisha says: One of the big events in Tucson each year is the Gem and Mineral Show. Ivan and Venice came to stay with us for a few days and took us down to see the exhibits. We also celebrated Venice's 83rd birthday while they were here. Each year the show features a different mineral and this year it was fluorite. It was the first time that I had been to the show and there were some really amazing things to see. Fluorite is cool because there are many different colors and it forms in cubes and sometimes the cubes are made up of thousands of smaller cubes.
The previous weekend we made a trip up to Phoenix where Dave did a mountain bike race at White Tanks. He was looking good until a ripped sidewall in his back tire ended his race. At least it didn't happen until the 3rd of 4 laps so he still got in some good racing. The next day I did the McDowell Mountain circuit race and made a late move from a break of six to win the race.
