Boo and Twenty Six Point Two

We're just hours from the weekend, and by all accounts, that's a very good
thing. Two big events share the stage this weekend: Halloween and the New
York City Marathon.

I want to thank the office candy fairy for keeping the jack-o-lantern fully
stocked every day. It's been a real treat. And I especially appreciate the
Reese's peanut butter cups. Those remind me of Mama Do. She always had
Reese's. And she kept them in the refrigerator. Nice. A little crunchier.
Cool. Is it just me, or are all desserts better cold?

Now, for all the marathon runners. There's nothing better. Run strong. I
considered posting my favorite moments from 2008, but I decided it's best
for the first-timers to discover it all on their own. But Alicia says it
best in the song she shares with Jay-Z:

"There's nothing you can't do. Those streets will make you feel brand new."

Even after 26.2, it's true.

I'll see you from the sidelines.
