the blog is open....again...

there are a few reasons for this.

1) a few folks actually had links to my blog through theirs. to which i was unaware of this. until the past few weeks. I knew i was part of my girl Ally's blog, but that was it until a few others came forward...and if Ally is getting people knowing her in races *from her blog*, well then.....i want in on some of that action too :) Ally *is* my superhero. this girl can do anything....she's had a phenomenal summer and i look forward to our iron girl experience in a week (yikes!!)

2) those who actually read my blog (still humbling..it's just me...) and had it as a feed (really??) could no longer get the news of the jd-blogging world. they had to log in. and why would i make them take that extra 2 steps??

3) as long as those that i post pictures of don't care if strangers find it, then okay.

so the "anybody" button was checked and unless i get a creepy stalker i don't know asking or posting weird stuff, then i'll open up the bar, er, blog again...

it's been a heck of a week. to those who have had to witness it, my apologies. i hope to be back to whatever normal is soon...~jd
