KMango Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 ...And, in case anyone is curious, I finished the Chicago marathon (my first marathon ever) in 5:44:14. Woo hoo! Good thing, too, after all that food... To bettyjoan! This cup's for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 [Yes, I know, I could devote an entire forum to (non-food) professional recommendations here. And don't think I haven't thought about it: Open for everyone to read; posting only allowed by members of a certain tenure; positive recommendations only. Hmm ...] I love the idea, I have often thought about sending out a bleg on the help wanted for something non-food related, but having a running list would be even better. I do think that a little explanation as to why the individual/group/company is being recommended should be required. Oh, and good job Bettyjoan, though I think that my thighs and nipples just chaffed thinking about running for almost 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are closing on our first home in a month - I will certainly be happy for the whole process of buying to be over (so I can start the process of enjoying). Thanks to all for the congrats on the marathon - it was an amazing experience. This weekend, I have been drinking to my sister and her husband, whose awesome wedding left us with enough overstocked beer and wine to be happy for quite some time (as I hope they are in their marriage).

Michael Landrum Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 To my nephew, Costi Caset, who this Friday won the 1st Annual "Copa Valentin Caset" (the National 18 and Under Championship Tournament, re-named this year in honor of his older brother, somewhat of a polo prodigy who played his first professional tournament at age 10 and who passed away not quite yet one year ago). This on top of winning both "El Intercolegial" and the Under 20 Championship Tournaments back-to-back just beforehand as well, all while still 17. Never will "levantar una copa" have such meaning, and never will a young man be so honored as by this sweetest of all brothers whose only thought ever in life was to live up to his idol and hero, his big brother--a big brother whose every goal and effort was for them to play side by side. Santa Paula Cup (El Intercolegial) - Polo By Garrahan "The champion, Costi Caset, surrounded by girls, as usual..." http://www.polobygarrahan.com/english/eventos.php?id_evento=43 (You might have to thumbnail around a bit...)

LauraB Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Another drink to the memory of Elizabeth Edwards. I had the good fortune of meeting her when she came to WAMU last spring. She left a very strong impression as a truly sincere and compassionate person. She seemed genuinely grateful for our conversation. I am very saddened by this unexpected news.
