This morning found Team Pirana joining the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon training group for a 20 mile run on the race course. Having to set the clock forward last night did not help in the sleep department, but it also meant it was dark and cold at 7:00 am when the run started from the […]

Monday night was a special night for Brother T3. Of course, as you already know, Sunday was his 45th birthday, but Monday was like icing on the cake. The day started with a fabulous mid morning run with some of the other Brothers on their favorite local trail. Low 30’s, no wind, and sunshine made […]

24 Hour Brigade

Brother Samsonite has hit upon a fabulous idea. It started with the idea to do a 24 hour run to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Samsonite intended to run laps around the track at Yukon High School (his Alma Mater) for 24 hours and get people to pledge money for laps or miles. […]

1988 was a Pretty Good Year

On January 17, a mere 21 years ago, Young Samsonite was born. His mother says that he was an easy baby (of course, he has gotten progressively more difficult as the years have passed) but that they were concerned from early on that he was “not quite right”. In spite of the concerns and sometimes […]

The Golden Bee

by admin on January 16, 2009

The Piranas visited a local Broadmoor establishment called the Golden Bee for dinner. The Golden Bee originally came to The BROADMOOR in 1961 as a collection of panels and fixtures from an entire 19th-century pub that were shipped from England and reassembled in Colorado Springs – a town once nicknamed “Little London.” Celebrated as a unique […]
