One day you're watching your small child ride a Big Wheel into a wall, the next he's registering for a highfalutin economics course in which the brain material he left splattered on that wall would have come in handy. Time flies.

You are clearly an intelligent, discerning, talented and, if I may say so, attractive person who would never do anything profoundly stupid.

The judges are fellow husbands who discuss the best candidates when they happen to get together for a few drinks.

In fact, once free from high school phys. ed. class, 10 years elapsed before I ever ran close to a mile. That all changed when I started running in neighborhood 5K races.
