Due to the illness of some guy I’ve never met (thanks, Ben!), I was racing as part of a team yesterday for the Parkway Run for children’s cancer research. I didn’t have my best race ever at 5K (about 19:30), but the team I was on won it’s division. The prize: lunch for five (there being five on a team, that’s nice and logical) at the Four Seasons. Sweet! Now all we have to do is coordinate the schedules of five people who work all over the city of Philadelphia. And if we really want to try to make things difficult, we’ll include the women’s team who won, also from the same running group. (That’s Philly Runners, in case you need to know.)

There is such a thing as a “free lunch”

Monday, September 27th, 2004Thanks to the miracle of online package tracking, I’m able to follow the progress of my new computer as it slowly, very slowly, wends its way to me. According to today’s check of the FedEx Web site, my computer left Shanghai, China on September 23, and is due to arrive here in Philadelphia on October 11. That’s slow. Too slow for me. Maybe I should’ve sprung for the faster shipping.
