The only picture you get, though, is the one of me looking indignant because Mark elected to cheer for me (which I asked him not to do) instead of take pictures of me (which I asked him to do) as I approached the finish line.
Later, after I get the card back from his camera.
(Mark ran 19:38. Yay us! We both met our goals.)
UPDATE. This experience has sparked more introspection than I expected. I will post about this (and about whether I had fun, I promise) after I have a chance to organize my thoughts.
But here I am. Don't I look indignant?
Hey! Congrats!

Mike,

I'm pretty good.. I don't remember how I found your joint, that's just how the blogosphere works, I suppose. I first stumbled across your blog a few months ago, and have been a google reader lurker for quite a while.
I'm doing good. I gave up the ChemE thing, and decided to follow my true passion, computers. After first finding work as a web developer back in '95, I haven't looked back! I got married, and have a 11 year old step daughter and a 3 year old son. I now have more letters after my name than are in it (CISSP, CSSLP, MCITP)..
For the life of me, I can't remember that professor's name. I just remember sitting in the third row, every MWF, being bored with being taught the obvious, trying to complete the crossword puzzle. :)
