A fabulous friend of mine is running in the Boston Marathon today. I am proud.as.punch!

His road has not been easy: various injuries have had him sitting, limping, hobbling. But he has had a vision. It has kept him focused. It has helped him to train. It has pushed him where he would not otherwise have gone. As these clever folk say, it’s not what the vision is, it’s what the vision does.

So to Bib Number 4419 I say: You Did It My Friend!
