I think this is my favorite New York holiday. Residents flee the city this weekend because it's the last three-day weekend for a while, the last gasp of summer. That means that the city is unusually quiet and filled with wide eyed, wondrous tourists. The residents that stay behind are ...

My brother sent this to me. It's hilarious.

I finally had a chance to get up early and go for a run. Our agency is very strict with our movements here, as this is both a highly congested and a relatively unsafe area (the house itself is well protected and hidden from the road), so we are discouraged ...

Today I ran. It was my first significant run since I broke my foot around the time of the Ragnar Relay. That was about five weeks ago. An eternity in running years, or so it seemed to me. I donned my running shoes and a pair of shorts and ran ...

(Continued from Part 3--sorry for the delay in getting this up)
The moment of the handoff was always a confusing one. The runners came into the chute one at at time, mostly, and everyone waiting--generally at least fifty to a hundred runners milling around waiting for their teammate--cheered on whomever was ...

(Continued from Part 2)
The mood at the beginning of the race was nervous and exciting. At exchange 6, where most of the teams would be united for the first time, the atmosphere was electric. At exchange 12, where there were a scores of vans and hundreds of runners, the Ragnar ...
