Thursday miscellany

[magid]

The stuff still to do tonight (not necessarily in order): kasher the sink. Cover almost everything. Tape the cabinets. Get out the Passover implements and food. Buy stuff (plastic covers, foil pans, sugar, scrubbies, vegetables). Dispose of leftovers. Get rid of futon frame. Eat dinner. Get a good night's sleep.

My [least?] favorite state, Texas, is earning my respect yet again, this time with a bill to ban gay couples as foster parents. Speechless, really.

Gaming: not dead yet.

Did I say marathon runners were insane? I hadn't yet heard of Dean Karnazes, who's run up to 262 miles at a time.

upcoming:
Somerville Open Studios April 30 and May 1.
North Cambridge Open Studios May 14 and 15.
Brookline Open Studios May 21 and 22.
Cambridge's Dance month is the whole month of May, with lots of interesting performances and classes.

Oh, and I'm very glad yesterday's temperatures in the 80s were a fluke; I'm so not ready for hot weather.

One of the docs I work with is a hardcore runner like this. He has done a few 100-mile (in one run) runs. Last summer he started his run at PacBell Stadium in San Francisco and finished at Fenway Park. Now granted, he was running in a team of three -- he'd run 20 miles, the next guy would run, and then the third -- but that's still 1000 miles or so of running in about a month. Yes, some of these runners are truly insane!

This guy enters 200 mile races meant for 7-person teams, and run it all himself.
