Let It Slide

Man, life is just hurtling by. Can't believe it's already Wednesday. Before we know it, we'll be swimming in birthday/Halloween parties for the girls starting this weekend.

Deb got home from San Fran Monday night after finishing the Nike Women's Half Marathon in 2:35 Sunday. She had a great trip and did a lot of sightseeing around SF, which is a truly beautiful city. Her flight ended up getting delayed because of storms and didn't arrive at Logan until 11:30 Monday night, so we were both pretty beat yesterday. But it's good to have her back home.

Congrats to my bro-in-law Matt, who triumphed Saturday over the Mountain Madness 50K (that's 31 miles) in his town of Ringwood, NJ. He finished in 8:55. Having done some butt-kicking 10+ milers through those trails, I can't even imagine being out there for almost nine hours. Also kudos to my buddy Rick, who finished the Baystate Marathon Sunday in 3:40; it was a truly lousy day out, with driving rain and strong headwinds.

I went to the BU-Notre Dame hockey game last night at Agganis Arena with my friends Rick Z. and Hugh; BU got bounced 3-0 in their home opener. They outplayed ND in the first but the Irish took the game over in the second, just dominating the period. BU coach Jack Parker is no doubt putting his players through some nasty practices this week as punishment for their lackluster effort.

And now, for your Hump Day enjoyment...
