powerful team play
Good teams I played on... just the tone that they play with, the energy they play with, how they go about it. When you get it going the right way, you get everyone going in the same direction and it's a powerful thing.
baseball character mean
Honestly, at one time I thought Babe Ruth was a cartoon character. I really did, I mean, I wasn't born until 1961, and I grew up in Indiana.
suffering comedy
There's always been physical suffering in comedy.

Traffic accidents have increased 100 percent in the city since the hurricane.

running thinking numbers
Runners like to train 100 miles per week because it's a round number. But I think 88 is a lot rounder.

The key to running a good marathon is to not listen to anyone's advice the last week before the race. That's when people tend to do stupid things that disrupt all the input and training of the previous months.

You entered a marathon with hills? You idiot.
moose disease tick
I know runners who have suffered a tick bite and ended up with Lyme disease. Ill take an angry moose any day.

cities advice pathways
So here's my advice to city planners. Make your city runnable. Runners are the first wave of troops bringing human activity back to the urban core of any city. Where we go, others will follow. The connection between runnability and livability is so clear (at least to me), that it's surprising that new developments consistently leave pathways out of the plans...
