Keep us posted on the latter!
The marathon is certainly a tough distance, but I imagine that it compares to childbirth. In any event, having completed the former, I will agree that it is an excruciating tastk. Should the opportunity arise, I will let you know how the latter compares.
Surprised you think it will take two wins. I think we have a shot to get in with another loss. The bubble is just a disaster this year, and we’ll float to the top even with one win.
May I borrow your Grey Poupon? I suppose I could write my news column one day, and my opinion column the next—as with Tatelines or Tupperlines. But I don’t write a news column, so it seems like a lot of extra work.
Actually, I think you have been ‘harangued’ by writing your opinions and judgements and considering them as ‘news’ asopposed to editorials. Taking a side on any issue dismisses journalism. It’s then an editorial. This is an arrogant writing.
Nothing is as humbling as running distances. I was a Div.I athlete, and NOTHING compares to the physical & mental test running has proven to be for me…..and I love it!
Tony C… Marathons are meant to be the most painfully excruciating character building exercise you can do besides childbirth, I would imagine. After all Pheidippides died after his. But at least he did one.
Rob, don’t ever change. I lean “merryman,“ but still can’t wait to read your take after every game and that hasn’t changed one bit in recent weeks.
I ran a slow Chicago marathon with a friend as moral support. We kept passing and getting passed by fully decked out Elvis in a white jumpsuit (it was 85F) and “Hi Guy” who was wearing Crocs as footwear and waving at everyone he passed (http://higuy.com/). It…

Pheidippides wasn’t planning on running a marathon; that’s why he died. If he had known ahead of time that he’d be running 26 miles and followed a good training program for a year, stretched properly before the event, had bands and cheering people along the race route,…
Doug, I absolutely agree. I think this might have come across focused on rock because, as you say, rock was the 90s, and we had some innovative rock bands here then. But what I’m really trying to get at is that there’s no way Dirty Projectors, Liars…
John, I’m not sure that the current climate for indie rock stardom is all that favorable for bands who simply rock out. Most of the bands doing it well that are also popular have been around for a while and have a tested identity (I’m thinking Spoon…

Nice article, Emily! When I get to the CU area, I’ll be sure to give this place a try.

I’ve always suspected that there’s a direct correlation between projected land use for the Rt 150 corridor [Industrial / Commercial] and the drive to expand 74. See the CCRPC Future Land Use Map for details, and then take a look at who owns land there, and you…
Zelini, I really like this - I’ll try to follow the theory more closely. As they reveal more about Kate (possibly next week), it might give us more perspective. I agree with your observation about Ben and I think Michael Emerson has done an excellent job conveying his lesser stature.

What if the sideways alternatives are where Jacob actually grants them their wishes, but in ways they didn’t quite expect? The elimination of one regret. Sayid gets to be with Nadia - although through his brother. Maybe he ends up with her at the expense of his…
This also explains why I was starting to think Roses & Sake was a group of strange pagans from Vancouver. This is when it pays to be a local. My apologies to the true Roses & Sake, we’ll fix this ASAP!
Ahh, shame on me. I grabbed it directly off of Mike ‘N Molly’s website. I’ll see if I can’t get it corrected on here (and maybe pass along the word to them as well). Thank you, observant reader!
I’m with Brigham regarding the Acrylics set. Very XX-ish. Very good.
i think the roses & sake link is actually: http://www.myspace.com/rosesnsake
Very nice preview…I’m stoked to be seeing The Young Republic
I understood this totally differently than the other people that posted…this is what I got from it: - the more background you have going in, the more of the allusions you will understand when watching - afterwards, you can do a little research to fill in the…
Sorry about the lack of address and hours. All I can say is duuuh
