Brew #2
For months Chris and I have been affectionately know by our neighbors as the "one brew wonders." Not so now, neighbors! Chris and I brewed our second batch of beer, an IPA, this Saturday to be ready in the next month or so. Our motivation? Summer (save for the snow that no one but Elvis liked today), and a Downtown Runners venue at Rosie's in Ferndale this fall . Beer stop anyone?

Races, Places & Faces
ARGHGHGHGHGH! It has been too long! So many things have happened in the past several weeks, both good and bad. I'm looking forward to simpler times as we approach the change of seasons and the promise of warmer weather. Oh, how the sun makes me feel better.
Yesterday, was my third St. Patty's Day Race in Corktown, a neighborhood of Detroit. The first year, 2007, I ran, in 2008 Chris and I volunteered, and this year I volunteered and ran. Unsurprisingly, only a handful of people got sh*tty with me because they expected that their race numbers would be in alpha order (I've never been to a race where they were), but overall, it was a good crowd. How many short races begin at noon and serve free beer at the finish line?
Of course, many of my favorite people were there and it was a warm sunny day. Just perfect for running, parade and people watching, and tailgating. I've had more productive Sunday afternoons, but they're generally not as fun. Even Elvis had a good time!
