Good Neighbor Day - 10k

Good Neighbor Day - 10k
Downingtown, PA

2 loops around downtown Downingtown (which is just fun to say).  I ran this with Johnny.  I didn't bring my phone, so no pics.  This race has become a staple for me every year, but this is the first time I ran the 10k (as opposed to the 5k).  Another great way to start off the 4th of July.

James Gandolfini 1961-2013

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.  What an icon.  It just didn't seem real when I heard the news today.



The Sopranos was the only show I can remember that I would actually plan events around with my friends.  I started watching in between season 3 & 4.  I remember watching the finale before my Christopher was even born.

I also thought Gandolfini was great in other roles.  True Romance, Get Shorty, Crimson Tide, and Welcome to the Rileys.  I really liked how he just wanted to go back to being a supporting actor once The Sopranos was over.

Finally, the restaurant where they shot the series finale. This was a pic of the table that the four Sopranos sat at. (fade to black)

Dub-C 4 Miler

Dub-C 4 Miler

West Chester, PA

A staple in my yearly running calendar, the Dub C 4 Miler in West Chester.  The race is always on a Friday night in downtown West Chester.  This year for the first time, I would be running with Jared and Johnny.  Sure enough, it was pouring rain this year.  I think rain clouds just follow John wherever he goes.

Anyway, I couldn't take a whole lot of pictures, but we did get one good one in.  

Race T

Cabrini Alumni 5k Run

Cabrini Alumni 5k
Radnor, PA

2nd year for the Cabrini 5k.  There were about 40 people who participated.  30 walkers, and 10 runners.  You know what that means....Another top 10 finish for me.

Glad to see Mark Redwine and Lori Henderson at the race.

The Office - finale

....

(After Michael has hit Meredith with his car)
Jim Halpert: One day Michael came in, complaining about a speed bump, on the highway... I wonder who he ran over then.

(After Michael has hit Meredith with his car)
Ryan: Did this happen on company property?
Michael Scott: It was on company property, with company property. So, double jeopardy, we're fine.
Ryan: I don't think-- I don't think you understand how jeopardy works.
Michael Scott: Oh, I'm sorry. What is, 'we're fine'?

Toby: Actually, I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children since it's, uh, you know. There's gambling and alcohol... And it's in our dangerous warehouse. And it's a school night. And, you know, Hooters is catering. You know. Is that- is that enough? Should I keep going?
Michael Scott: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be

Dwight Schrute: Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check-in time in now, check-out time is never.
Jim Halpert: Does my room have cable?
Dwight Schrute: No. And the sheets are made of fire.
Jim Halpert: Can I change rooms?
Dwight Schrute: Sorry we're all booked up. Hell convention in town.
Jim Halpert: Can I have a late check-out?
Dwight Schrute: I'll have to talk to the manager.
Jim Halpert: You're not the manager, even in your own fantasy?
Dwight Schrute: I'm the owner.. the co-owner. With Satan!
Jim Halpert: Okay, just so I understand it. In your wildest fantasy, you are in hell and you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Dwight Schrute: But I haven't told you my salary yet.
Jim Halpert: Go.
Dwight Schrute: Eighty thousand dollars.

Dwight Schrute: Brain teaser. I have two coins totaling 15 cents. One of them is not a nickel. What are they?
Ryan: A dime and a nickel.
Dwight Schrute: ...No I said one of them is not a nickel-
Ryan: But the other one is, I've heard that before.
Dwight Schrute: Okay. A man and a son get into a car accident, they're rushed to the hospital. Doctor says, 'there's no way I can operate on this boy--
Ryan: Because he's my son. The doctor is the boy's mother.
Dwight Schrute: A man is found hanging from the ceiling-
Ryan: He stepped on a block of ice, hung himself and the ice melted.
Dwight Schrute: A hunter-
Ryan: It's a polar bear because you're at the North Pole.
Dwight Schrute: DAMMIT!

Michael Scott: So what we do, is we drive all day, and we stay in a hotel together at night.
Pam Beesly: Separate rooms.
Michael Scott: Well that goes without saying.
Pam Beesly: I'm gonna say it anyway.

Dwight: I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?

Dwight: I don't have a lot of experience with vampires. But I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once. But by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

Jan: I am taking a calculated risk. What's the upside? I overcome my nausea, fall deeply in love, babies, normalcy, no more self loathing. Downside? I, uh, date Michael Scott publicly and collapse in on myself like a dying star.

Toby: This may be the first time that a male subordinate has attempted to get a modest scheduled raise by threatening to withhold sex from a female superior. It will be a groundbreaking case when it inevitably goes to trial.

Phyllis: I wonder what people like about me? ... Probably my jugs.

Andy: Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them... or he quits them because they are unfair.

Phyllis:	Does everyone know my boyfriend, Bob Vance?
Kevin:	Kevin Malone.
Bob:	Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
Stanley:	Stanley Hudson.
Bob:	Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
Ryan:	Ryan Howard.
Bob:	Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
	[pause]
Ryan:	What line of work you in, Bob?

Michael Scott:	[looks at Oscar, who is using his phone, and grabs it from him] Well, well, well. What is this contraption, I do declare?
Oscar:	It's my blackberry Michael, I am trying to get updates on the company.
Michael Scott:	Who's Michael? I'm Caleb Crawdad, I do declare.
Ryan:	You don't have to keep saying "I do declare". Any time you say something it means you are declaring.
Michael Scott:	That is the way Southern people talk.
Jim Halpert:	And what Designing Woman are you basing that on?
Michael Scott:	Delta Burke, I do declare. Now, shall we get to the mystery?

Ryan:

If I had to, I could clean out my desk in five seconds, and nobody would ever know I had ever been here. And I'd forget, too.

David Wallace:	Michael, David Wallance. What is this about dismissing the ad people?
Michael Scott:	Yeah, I'm glad you called. Ryan is being a little bitch again.
Ryan Howard:	I'm on, Michael.
Michael Scott:	What's up my brotha?
