This is turning out to be one hell of a year

In sum: I got new glasses. I went to Texas for the first time. I went to New York to see some rock and roll firsthand. I ran my first five-mile race, and my first under 10-minute mile. I met J.R. I went to Seattle. I got an iPod. I went to a few Sox games. I went to Ohio. I ran my second 10K. I made it through to 31.
