I want to get "Ohana" (because Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind, but I wouldn't get the whole phrase).

@mn06 - one of my favorite signs at the Philly half this weekend was something about CHANNING TATUM IS WAITING AT THE FINISH LINE WITH PUPPIES.
(Irrelevant: I also enjoyed, "Look at you, all running and shit!" and "My last marathon was Breaking Bad.")
My house blog is at guinsyard.wordpress.com. It is pretty slow going, but I have fun with it. It always seems like house projects and training for major races are an either/or proposition.
I could care less about Channing Tatum, but I am all about the puppies. There was another sign with a picture of a puppy and said something like, "This puppy will be sad if you don't run fast, you don't make this puppy said, do you?"
