It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

News from the ol' home town and the Class of '67 as the holiday season gets underway:


Judy Kendall Bedford and I decorated a tree in Central Park. We are still waiting to hear if we won the big prize. Personally, I think the final product was a work of art, complete with hand-dipped candles (courtesy of Judy), and popcorn and cranberries (those pesky black squirrels have to eat something). It was definitely a girl bonding experience in the butt-freezing cold.




Hubby Frank and I dragged ourselves downtown this morning for the first Annual Hot Chocolate Hustle 5K Run/Walk.
Race time: 8am. Sleet began: 8:01 am.
Remember wanting to slide down Slaughterhouse Hill when you were 10? Well, probably some of you actually did it. Frank and I just walked down the Hill. In truth, we walked the whole darn thing unless you count the part where Number 38 (that's me) slid across the finish line at Central Park while Frank hummed a few bars from "Rocky".




Connection to Class of '67: our very own Jerry Lee, co-owner of Newton Running, was major sponsor of the race. Thanks for the great new T-shirt, Jerry!



PS...you can read about Jerry in Inside Triathlon here, at the Community Foundation website here, and at SNEWS here. Check out his rockin' shoes at Newton Running.
