I just bought the baseball card of George Shotgun Shuba. Can anyone guess what was it about his connection to the Brooklyn Dodgers and Game 7 of the 1955 World Series that lead me to this momentous transaction of just over $4?

Saddened to learn about the death of Sarah Seaver, Tom's oldest daughter.

Good for you for taking the time that you need. We need WAY more thoughtfulness. How others characterize it (or caricature it, in this case), is out of your control. Too often we are drifting off into irrationality. I appreciate you being rational.

The first few times I came across this phrase I thought it was a joke, a parody. Now that I know it's a "for real" proposal I can only shake my head.

I don't think I'm quite there yet. Tough hills, I'm aiming for around 2:05.

I will, Charley, thanks. I have a half marathon in two weeks.

Ran an excellent 4-mile race in 35:00 2 weekends ago and was delighted with my 2nd place age group finish. Happier now that the guy ahead of me was disqualified, probably for cutting the course, and I have the top spot!

He didn't remain effective very long. I've always wondered why

I don't think it looks so bad. Different and startling, I find it.

Maria's right then, and you are doing the right thing. I'm confident it will all come back to you, but it sounds like slowly.

Happy to hear you did 51 minutes, Charley. How close are you to training pace? How'd you feel afterwards?

Ran a good 5K race at Governors Island this AM. Bettered 9 minute per mile pace for the first time on this course at 8:45 for a 27:12 finish. First place in my age group. Feeling happy, so maybe I shouldn't watch the Jets?
