Would That It Were So Easy

2011-10-09 Chicago Marathon 4

Free beer along the Chicago Marathon route on a course that is all downhill. But someone has to protect the runners from the crowd, or vice versa. It was a struggle to find a good view but turn around - the city could be quite a distraction.

    Love these. Some say beer is better than chocolate for jetlag. Never tried either of them.

    The photo of the kids on the wall, all looking away, is timeless. I have a book from an exhibition in Chicago of the best photos from the archives of the Sun Times. That photo looks like it should be one of them.

    As I opened your blog, I am watching last night's Cardinals game, which I recorded and I do not yet know what happened. It is the top of the 6th and the Cardinals are up 7 to 2.

    I thought to myself, "Should I open Bob's blog before I finish the game? What if he says something about who won?" I decided to live life on the edge.

    My fav photo is the last - or the one before last: I'd rather be seated!
    :-)

    Congratulations again to the captain!

    Obviously for different reasons, the top and bottom shots are my favourites. Fantastic!

    Very nice shots. I don't understand the beer sign. But I love the pic of the feet hanging over the wall. :)

    The last two photos are particularly fine.
