The Grand Canyon is gob smackingly "awesome" isn't it. I too tracked down City Lights bookshop:-)

I'm just going back to read it all again.

You're a glutton for punishment, SW.

Perhaps I am too, as I wouldn't like to say I won't do another one. I would just love to have some road-to-Damascus moment to help me overcome my eating demons. It's always such a struggle to lose enough weight to give myself a proper chance. I have this dream that one day I will retain my focus from 20 weeks out, right up to the day of the race.

But hell yeah, I'll do another one. Not this year, that's for certain. Perhaps next spring.

Hey, glad to hear you got to City Lights.

I was also glad to take up your recommendation (and reinforced by Glaconman) about Alcatraz. Not many people know this, but I have visited quite a lot of prisons in my time, though not as an offender. It's another story for another time, but anyway, I do have a natural interest in these places. And Alcatraz didn't disappoint. Very well preserved, and atmospheric. Great views of the city too.

I hope to get back there someday.
