I spent Friday evening on a train to Portland. The train was packed (sold out) and I had to sit next to a guy who got trashed on the 3 1/2hour trip and tried to hit on me. It was great.
After my train arrived I met Sue and we drove out to see the runners. Zach ran by us while we cheered him on.
That's why I was there...the Hood to Coast.
Scott, Zach, Karen, Ralph and Will along with a cast of others ran from Mount Hood to Seaside!
On Saturday I drove out to Seaside to meet up with them at the finish line. They ran it in 30 hours 30 minutes!!!!

Observation #623
Sometimes I feel like there is so much going on that I am pulled in a hundred different directions. And I start to think that if one more thing happens I might come apart like they do in Star Trek when they "beam" places.
It won't be painful or ghastly. Maybe a brilliant burst of light. Or a barely audible pop. Or perhaps just a slow disintegration into the individual particles that make up the thing I have come to think of as me.
