Catching up

Sorry, it’s been a while.
I ran the Ceaser Rodney half-marathon yesterday, and boy are my legs tired. This is a 13.1 mile loop through the city of Wilmington. I used to be a regular at the event, but it’s been about 5 years since my last Ceaser Rodney. I won’t tell you my time, but I will tell you it’s about a half-hour off of my PR (back in my early 30’s), and I got smoked by elderly U. S. Senator, Tom Carper.
The race wrapped up an eventful weekend that started with a book signing event at Between Books in Claymont, Delaware. Proprieter Greg Schauer is a genuinely nice guy who knows his books! While turn out was sparse, I enjoyed meeting with Greg and touring his richly-stocked shelves. Any fan of comics, graphic novels, sci-fi and the macabre will want to make this a destination. While I understand most bricks-and-mortar book sellers are having a rough go, I hope Greg’s unique collection make Between Books the exception. This is a true Indie bookstore with a very funky vibe.

Next up is the South Carolina tour. Stay tuned for details.
