D is for Dangerous

Hola. Wow, the week really slipped away from me. I've been busy, playing hockey Monday and last night and meeting up with some old friends Tuesday night. And on Sunday, I ran the Ring Around the Neck 5-mile race in Marblehead, which was fun. I started out pretty fast and slowed a bit on the hills going around Marblehead Neck, but finished strong in 36:49 (by my watch), 16 seconds off my PR set at Thanksgiving. I was passed in the last mile by a young kid and grumbled a bit, but then had to laugh when I came up to the final turn to find him standing in the middle of the road blowing chunks. That's what you get for passing me in a race, right? Right? Right.

I'm looking forward tomorrow night to attending the Ted Leo and the Pharmacists show at Avalon. I've been meaning to catch one of his shows for several years now and have always missed him, so this should be good.

Pass the peas:

• A judge in the Washington, DC, area filed a $65 million lawsuit against a dry cleaning business over a pair of missing pants that were found after a week. If you believe in any sort of karma, an anvil should fall on this guy's head any minute now.
• Think you're having a bad week? This poor schmuck had his house robbed, was stripped naked and then superglued to an exercise bike. Yowch.
