They?

'They' being the nation of Ireland.
Oh, and because I do not drink tea either.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

And no force feeding of Guinness or tea either.

Barry's tea - any relation, Irish?

What is barry's tea?

Great hangover cure, far better than coffee!

30,000 people from all over the globe will be in NY city next weekend to run the second most famous distance run in the state. If they were smart they would waite another week and run the better one on the 11th. Certainly more scenic and way less congested. No T shirt though.

BTW Dr. Dirt has revised his website with a better map and directions. Guaranteed not to get you lost.

Speaking of NYC Marathon, I made it across in 3:16 - not too bad for an old guy (45). Lots of muscle cramps the last 4 miles which probably cost me a few minutes, but I don't think I'm up for the wagathon this year. I am jealous though, maybe next year.

Fraser,
3:16 at NYC is a very respectable time for someone 25 years of age!!! Take some recoverite or whatever that stuff is my wife takes (she's the real runner in this household) and be there Sunday. We'll buy you a beer at the end.... although you'll be waiting at the finish for quite awhile....

it is mostly downhill & there is no better time than the present.

regardless, congrats on that one.

Respectable? That's an Awesome time!!

D - Thanks - I am training for the Wagathon IV.

That is an excellent race time! I am over 10 years younger, and jealous.
