In case you were wondering, June is the leader with nine birthdays.



From the Lansbery/Sankey Recipes comes excerpts from--"Hints On Eggs."


1) To keep eggs fresh over a period of time, dip them in liquid fat. (I'm sure we all have plenty of that on hand.) This preserves them indefinitely for it fills the pores and excludes air. (You'll achieve the same result if you go ahead a just drink the liquid fat.)



2) Because eggs are porous they should not be placed in the refrigerator to close to fish, cheese or onions as they will aqcuire an unpleasant taste. (Also, don't let Bruce anywhere near them if he's sprayed himself with Brut.)



6) An egg seperates better when it's cold, but it beats better at room temperature. (But if you get a couple of drinks in them they'll do almost anything!)



18) For a perfect omelete beat the yolks and whites seperately, (Before they have a chance to get their stories straight.) Reunite them and proceed with any omelete recipe (After they've had a chance to catch up.)



21) Sprinkle broken egg shells over the soil of potted plants. The lime in the shells sweetens the soil, (But who eats soil sweet or otherwise?) Or, after boiling eggs cool water and pour over plants. (If your spouse won't get out of bed don't wait for the water to cool, just dump and run!)



22) If you're having trouble beating your eggs stiff you can always give the folks in Yuma a call . .



Stay tuned for the July edition of Lansbery/Sankey Recipes for excerpts from-- "Hot, Brown, and Plenty Of It!"

Kristen does it! Pictured here during the 2010 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 mile Run. 1:56:22 was her time and she was the 7,776 female to cross the finish line. Great job!

Skinners Butte Park as it looks today. You may have memories of the Lansbery/Sankey reunion when it was held at Skinners Butte Park. The softball field is a little worse for wear, and the concrete whale has been "Eugene-ified." I run past the park (in training not in fear) and took my phone last time I did to take the pictures.

Kaitlin Lewis--5/14

April Birthdays:

Ironman Watch: My training is increasing by the week as I prepare to compete in the 2010 Ironman Coeur d'Alene. This year I will be a part of Team Socal and have been soliciting sponsors to offset entry and training costs. The new uniforms look great and will be adorned with business logos from my sponsors. After spending time in Hawaii we're anxious to go back, and what better way then to qualify for the Kona race.

I'm also looking forward to traveling to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in November to take part in the Heart Run with heart patients from all over North America. There will be relay teams and a full marathon on tap.


That's the story from the newsroom, keep those cards and letters coming.

March Lansbery Ledger

In This Issue: We play "Where's Kristen?" Much snow in Baltimore.

Actually, as you can see by the next photo Kristen was able to commute just fine.

Meanwhile, back in Yuma, a warm front is moving in . . .

Also in this issue: Melissa Bour makes the Deans list, I make a grocery list.

March Birthdays

Well, the winter Olympics are in the books. Many records were set and broken, including the number of condoms passed out to Olympic athletes. Boy, you'd have to go to Yuma to see that kind of action!

I'm revamping my personal website-www.jumpstartmyheart.org and will let you know when it's finished.

As a parting shot I thought you might enjoy hearing my friend Kevin, and his singing cat, Elvis.

Happy New Year January 2010 Ledger

I've had issues with two computers lately and as a result the January Ledger was delayed. I'm still not out of the woods yet but at least I can post. In fact, my pc crashed again as I was putting this together so I must be brief.

I hope you all had a great holiday season and are looking forward to the new year with positive aspirations as I am. I'm studying to be a Certified Personal Trainer and will go through the American College of Sports Medicine to earn my certificate. Chris is very interested in this as well and it's a tug of war to get my reference books away from him to study!

By the way, or btw to you texters, Chris is now employed! After about six months of searching he was hired by Market of Choice, an upscale grocery chain. After his 90 day grace period he'll be full-time with benefits. Also, I learned of a website devoted solely to cardiac athletes--http://www.cardiacathletes.org/ and became a member in November.

I'm excited at the prospect of sharing my successful recovery with others. There's a race planned in November, in Harrisburg, Pa. and heart patients from around the world are invited to run. I believe it's a marathon relay.

January Birthdays:

Well, this about does it for January. Keep those cards and letters coming.

The following is copied from an e-mail and is worth posting here:

Put your car keys beside your bed at night
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it.
It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain....
It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.
After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that..


Have a great holiday season and we'll meet in January for the next ledger.
