Yes, it is still raining in Washington... glad you asked.

Numbers, saw three ovals with numbers on them on the back of a vehicle as I drove away from the hospital this morning. 26.2, 70.3 and some other that I didn't catch because I was driving and had to pay attention, you know how old guys get.

I smiled, thinking of the young person (they are all young) displaying his (or her) passions to the KNOWing viewers out there. Since the bottom one was the 26.2 I was clued into the other two, and thanks to my son's amazing life I actually know what 70.3 means. There isn't only hope for the better future, there are signs of real promise and like the daffodils all over if you know where to look. It is coming.

No, I am going to lay down and read my David Weber and hope I continue to heal, my wife heals and y'all are happy. Google can provide all your answers if you aren't IN THE KNOW about those numbers.

edited: I don't know the other number - but the JFK 50 was mentioned and I did think about the stir that caused when I was young and found this post about it JFK 50. People still do some interesting stuff out there.

Tri-Athlete... the other one was probably 140.6 One of my co-workers is into that, and 'endurance' marathons, she just ran the JFK which is a 50 miler...

I was too young to participate but old enough to remember the stir of the 50mile a day march of the Marines that the JFK found somewhere and people started organizing and doing them. I thought it was so cool.
