Could I possibly snag these?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You can get into New York via a lottery or by doing certain things with the New York Road Runners Club (run and volunteer): [link]

Also, wait a minute--don't you have to apply for the Boston Marathon, and have a time better than X (I forget what it is) to be allowed to run? How do you get in without having run one before?
I think you have to finish an official qualifying marathon in under 5 hours. There are bunch you have to qualify for and some, like NY, that you have to enter a lottery to get into.

Suddenly I see the advantage of living in a monarchy.
Technically, I live in a monarchy and we do not have the day off. Am I bitter? Yes! Do I really care about the Royal Wedding? No.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I already have Fridays off, and I plan to be up and watching the wedding.
In Utah, they don't give days off for Catholic holidays, which is what several locals think Easter is. Some of them actually have to think for a moment to remember what Easter represents (and they wonder why some people don't consider Mormons to be Christian). When I mention that in some areas it's a holiday-worthy occasion, they actually look baffled.

I have Friday off, but it's just my regular alternate Friday thing. I shall be getting my hair cut, eating lunch with a friend, and celebrating my BIL's 60th birthday.
Hmm, maybe teh Hivemind can help me out: what do you get a 60-YO saxaphone-playing swimmer?

A certificate for a tune-up on his sax? If he still has hair, something that will get the chlorine out? A CD he'd like? I think a new swimsuit is probably a little personal for a BIL...especially a speedo! Does he wear them? Would it be a funny joke? Only you know...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
