I met a couple people here who run Boston, one who's run it 6 times (also was part of 214 mile relay, ouch) and another who is one of those people who kind of have a permanent scowl on their face. One lecture the professor stopped and asked her if she understood the concept she was explaining, extolling, living vicariously through, lobbying for, loving, living, and pushing on those whose direction and ease of passion is directed elsewhere. She replied with a deadpan "No, that's just my face." Very very good. Quick turnaround, to boot.

What is funny? What defines humor? Humor in a nutshell: go. Humor in 10 words or less. That which makes you laugh? Unsatisfyingly broad. Any takers?

Also, is grammar important? Is it something we should pay attention to? Be mindful of? (prepositions at ends of sentences)

I intend to follow up on these questions.

Have you forgotten to follow up, or simply kept the follow up private?

I haven't been keeping up with my blog, sad to say, to the dismay of myself and all my numerous fans.

Too bad we missed each other this break, hope to see you soon.
