Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Whatever you are, be a good one.----Abraham Lincoln


     I should be out walking the dog enjoying the last nice day for a while.  Snow is in the offing.  Instead I slept in and am watching the NYC marathon online.  A nice morning to spectate.
     How about you?


     PS
          Wow, what a race!  Close finishes for men and women despite brutal windy weather.  Kenyans won both races, but Americans can be so proud of Meb, Kara, Deena, and Desiree.  Meb came in 4th for the men.  Desiree came in 5th for the women.  The wind gusts were up to 40 mph....must have been so hard for these slight runners.

     From Competitor.com,a funny quote from elite marathoner Patrick Rizzo about all of the side stories: "If ESPN covered basketball the same way it does the marathon, we'd only know that fans eat hot dogs and nachos. There's a game?"
