The race was only open for women (it has since been renamed the Tufts 10K) but my girlfriend had injured her ankle and could not run it. Knowing that this was a qualifier and that she wanted to run more marathons, I did the chivalrous thing and took her number pretending to be her. I had a couple of friends from the Emerson College makeup department give me a tied back wig, fake breasts and some materials to hide Mr Happy. As I was running I thought to myself, "If I really kick it I could win this thing". I forged ahead to 12th place before my nerve gave out and I dropped back. I could have won that race and been famous. Damn!
Sounds like Emerson hasn't changed at all. (Except no one I was in school with there did any running except from the cops in front of the Arlington Street Church during the protests.)

Haven't been to Lola's (such shameful behavior on my part) but I've seen some pics. Really good.
L is a genius (except for the part about marrying me) and is the only artist I've ever met who is actually about her pieces (except for my son, the musician, but that's due to dysfunctional DNA)

Quite dreary this Thanksgiving morn. I was going to go for a run but between the gusts of wind and the darts of slanting rain I was driven back to this keyboard. I guess I will go mix up the pies, get the stuffing ready and chop some of the salad or I could go back to bed.
