6 Days At the Fair AND that folks… is a wrap… two years ago I set out on a quest to finish my   bachelor’s   degree.  Whether it was spurred by the intense desire to know   I could…   or some   quack   hiccup in the brain, I   emptied   my bank account and signed up for night school.   It kind of almost killed me... working full time and trying to manage homework, family and my vintage clothing second job..

I can't seem to get a grasp on how to actually write all that’s been happening because all the stuff keeps happening!!!… one day… our life will slow.. and when it does… Sunday, September 19th Joe really doesn’t function well prior to say… 8am… TIME TO GET UP! 4AM... RACE DAY! Today was the ING Philly Half Marathon (13.1 miles) and somehow I convinced Joe that it was fun.. and that he should do it with me… (SUCKER).. We arrived in Philly around 6am, parked and started our trek to the start… thankfully only 8 blocks away and we got there early enough to christen the port-o-pots, and oh yeah.. watch the sunrise from the art museum steps… Life was in fact …Good..! OK...time to line up… 20,000 people in 22 or so corrals.. thankfully we are near the front!.. Joe in corral 4… I corral 5… then off we go… yeahhhh.... running free... free...FREE.. and strong.. strong.. STRONG!... ain't no one stopping me....I ... AM... .......
