So what's the deal Robert? You got something against Illinois?... And damn, you make it hard for me to bitch and moan about all my petty problems... Big grin

Thanks, Huskydon. There were some things I wanted to know about Robert but didn't want to come out and ask. This is a great article (funny how it says he joined Marathon Maniacs and THEN started running marathons... I think that part got switched around).

Very inspiring article......now I understand more about the "pink". Hope you had a nice run at Surf City! Jewels

Great (and well-deserved) story about a caring man. But, yeah, what is the deal with Illinois?? Thanks for the post. Jay

Huh. Well, thanks for the thread. This was unexpected Smile

. If you've ever had an article written about you, you know how it works... you spend 1-5 minutes being interviewed. Sometimes they get the facts right, sometimes they get them a little goofed. You keep your fingers crossed that they won't mess up anything important. That's a nice article... I had no idea what the reporter's angle was going to be when he contacted me. He made me sound good, so wahoo for that. There is a big fact OOPS in that article. Some of you will know what it is; it is *not* critical to the meaning of the article. I do not choose to discuss it here, and though I can't really prevent it, I'm not posting this to start a game of dramatic speculation regarding what it is. So pretty please don't. But this is merely to say, a few of you will read it and say "wait a sec, I thought..." and you are probably right. The real story has an additional layer of complexity not represented in the article. Which is fine.
