  4. Receiving two high fives from Al Franken would probably have made me vomit, too. :)

    Congratulations, Scotty!

  7. MoSup - I vomited after the RACE, not after Al Franken.

    Still, I concede the point to you. Well played, madam, well played. :-)

  8. Congratulations, Old Friend. I like the idea of posting the music that came up on your Shuffle. You tend to listen to more laid-back tunes than I do. With the exception of some inspiration or tear-jerky tunes, mine tend to be more pulse-pounding.

    FYI, I'm entering Denver Marathon which takes place 10.19. Care to come out??
