Happy birthday to Paul Simon!

     Happy 72nd birthday to Paul Simon.  We loved the music of Simon and Garfunkel, (and Peter, Paul, and Mary, and of course, the Beatles).  Our kids can attest to this as we indoctrinated them early-on to "our music."

     The Chicago Marathon is happening this morning.  I am watching an on-line stream from NBC. It looks like a beautiful day there.  So far the top 7 men are from Kenya and Ethiopia.  I'm not sure about the women.  I want to see some Americans closer to the front.  Go Chicago.
     Update:
          Dennis Kimetto of Kenya won the men's race in 2:03:45, a new course record.
          Rita Jeptoo, also of Kenya, won the women's race in 2:19:57.
          Carpe Diem!

     P.S.  Am I getting hardcore or what?  I just ordered a headlamp.  I hope it helps get me out the door in the coming dark winter days, plus keeps me safe.
