And, I am off to DC for the marathon...I haven't been back since I left in 1995...for so many reasons I left that place and never once looked over my shoulder. I wonder what it will be like to be there...living in DC was seriously one of the least happy times in my life. I hope the memories that come back are good ones.

And I hope I am able to come up with a clever slogan to wear on my running shirt during the marathon. God forbid people think my red white and blue outfit means I am a Patriot as definied by the Bush Administration.
