I watched Spirit of the Marathon last night on Hulu. Its a bit of a advert for the Chicago Marathon. I liked the interviews though and it was fun to watch people in a marathon going through what we all go through. I still have no interest in the mega-thons, just because the number of [...]

I didn’t want go on Farcebook. I joined because someone wanted me to help other people from my past join. So I did. I figured I could keep in touch with them, even if I didn’t really want to participate much. Did I mention I was booted off there once? I was.

Well…happy 4th for those celebrating.
