I turned on the national NBC Nightly News last evening. My former neighbor Sondra Dubas was being interviewed about her work founding Heart Heroes. Her daughter Ashley was born without a pulmonary valve, after dozens of surgeries she is healthy and will soon turn twelve. My son Miles and daughter Alli were her babysitters for several years, so I have a special place in my own heart for her. The Heart Heroes provides superhero capes to kids battling heart problems. Please check out the organization and do what you can to support.
Thanks to Andrew Jacob for pointing out that the Thunder Run 5K in Lincoln, set for tomorrow, is a Real race. And in fact serves as the Nebraska Association 5K Road Championships. As a card carrying USATF member and El Presidente of Nebraska Run Guru Elite that was news to me. I hadn’t heard via email, nor is it publicized on the Nebraska Association website. Me, I’m cool and can overlook such triviality. But….
WARNING! As part of the Grievous Angel’s 2012 campaign to ruin me the following was included in her formal complaint against me to USATF, and I quote:
“4. During his term as LDR Chair of the Association, Grievant has not received notice of any state LDR championship event as required by USATF Regulation 3 as incorporated in the Association By-Laws.”
I’m just saying. Or was a bigger ax on the grindstone? You decide.
And in response to yesterday’s column from my old buddy John: “If u missed pissing off anyone in the last couple of weeks u covered all rest of the bases today. Maybe they will think u just went off your meds.”
Of course I got the good natured jab and couldn’t agree more. The truth is a hard pill for people to swallow.
