Hi Ken, Thank You,glad To Be Your Friend

I'm sorry to bring this up... but aren't you the least bit concerned that Champ gave you a pearl necklace? Ha.

pirate hat? Arrrr.

I'm not in Ohio anymore, so I get ass from real bitches

Haha. The Plain Dealer missed the real story, trying to take credit for McAdams success (delivering newspapers--indeed), when it was you who molded our Olympian.

Oh yes. I followed his progress closely and watched the finals race (WKYC). The Anderson Smith who also qualified for the finals who none other than McAdam's old nemesis from his senior year in high school (1998) Hudson's Andy Smith. At the district Andy Smith won the mile with McAdams a close second and Solon's Jared Gambatese 3rd. The regional mile had the same order of finish. At state, which my son and I attended (my son qualified for the regional in the mile but had a tough day--I think he expended too much energy on the prom the night before), it was a Cincinatti kid winning, but after a massive final 100 meter sprint, Smith took second just ahead of the third place McAdams who was just ahead of Gambatese in fourth. Great stuff.

Yesterday the Plain Dealer in a pre-race article mentioned that McAdams was a paper boy for them. I can't believe they not only mentioned it again this morning, but played it up even bigger.

Deliver the Plain Dealer in the mornings and become an Olympian. Give me a friggin break.

Ok, I worked with a wrestling coach that helps Chertow with his wrestling camp.

Chicago marathon - that'd be cool! I really don't know too much about the hotels in that area. I used to work ear there but that was a while ago. There's a Hyatt just north of there, really there are alot of places just go for the best price and location. Bluestater might have some advice for you.

What gives? I thought you were bib 439.

Ran a 4:05 on that broken toe. I didn't train for nothing. Best to you!

I'm not saying it's a bad thing! It just looked like something that might be created while sitting around a table with a pitcher of beer and a basket of popcorn.

I ran the Cleveland Marathon once. Had a broken toe at the time. I broke it 2 days before the race. Good luck and get ready for the bridge. If it is still on the same course, you start at CSU and run west over the Cuyahoga returning to CSU for the finish.

I didn't see that news report, but no surprise.The super's name sort of rings a bell. I remember a forum discussion, here or on themat, where some yahoos suggested that intergrating a school would lead to drug busts (in effect). What a load of crap. When I graduated from Lakewood drugs, like H, were to be had. An aquaintance OD'd (left a suicide note) just after graduating. All-white at the time, of course.

Ohhh, I see. So I'm just a geographical friend. Well, that's okay. Everyone needs a Southern girl in their life.

I think you only wanted to be my friend cause I like that Miley Cyrus song...

Shears was HUGE too! That was his senior year when he went up from 133! I have no clue how he made 133.

Great Group idea, it will be pretty big next year I bet.
