Just checking in to say hello and to report that my nephew Thomas (Coach T the Terrible) and I finished the LA Marathon in 9 hours and 18 minutes. I sprinted the last block and did a little "Rocky" dance. It was a soggy once-in-a-lifetime experience. I came in as number 17,046 which means I "beat" 6,000 people, most of whom must have had the good sense to quit. Yesterday I went back to work. I'll tell the tale in more detail. The most important part is the feeling that you-all were out there, buoying me up. Thank you. Mary [log in to unmask] We're still counting the contributions, and more keeps rolling in. The final count will probably be made at the end of the month. It looks like we made enough for 2 seed grants -- funding research projects that could attract big grants from the NIH.
