1. Starting with chickens, of course, I recently found out that another neighbor of mine has chickens! Bill Finch, the editor of the garden section of the newspaper, lives around the corner, and his yard is this amazing horticultural laboratory. Naturally, he has 8 or 10 beautiful hens to complement it. If you'd like to join me, he said I can visit them anytime!
2. Next, I'm working the nightshift now. The project I'm on at the law firm is so big they want people on it day and night, and I'm heading up the night bunch. Good times in West Mobile.
3. Alabama finally gets an Apple Store! The long-rumored store at The Summit in Birmingham opens tomorrow! I wanted to go the the sure-to-be-festive grand opening, but I can't make it.
4. Lastly, I ran the Crescent City Classic last weekend. Imagine a regular 10K race for some people combined with a 6.2 mile-long party for everyone else. In addition to the people passing out water every mile were others on the route passing out "Free Beer! Free Donuts!" and "Free Hot Dogs!" Not to mention the brass bands playing and runners in crazy costumes. When it was over, the first thing I consumed was not water but a jello shot, which were being handed out by this random group of guys just past the finish line. Then came the big post-race party at Tad Gormley Stadium where there was free Abita beer, jambalaya, and a band. Classic New Orleans.
I leave you with a post-race photo of me enjoying the festivities.

Damn. That's Awesome. What was your time?
6 hours, 10 minutes, and 4 seconds, which includes a 2 hour nap period after the third mile.
Jawn,

Geez John, the official's time is the same as Lakey's time in the 400....
My time was 1:03:35, a 10:15/mile pace. Not great, but I didn't stop or walk the whole way, which was my only real goal, not having trained at all. Slow and steady, just like the Supreme Court.
