Awesome post. Thank you for Ruth Reichl. How many days?!

~j–exactly what i was thinking.
carrot–thank you. and i am careful about how i word this. i am not going to “compete” (i expect to finish dead last). my goal is simply to finish. that which does not kill me…
b.–thank you. i intend to. and how could it not be spectacular as long as i have friends like you?
glittersmama–we don’t know actual days quite yet, but we do know transfers are august 18, which mean he will likely be home by the end of that week.
