    Gromit and Snoopy! My favorite fictional dogs too. Thanks for bringing them to the forum.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Hey Cris/Brina,

    Welcome! I'm in Chgo, too. North side. The flip-flop story is horrific! Any lasting scars to show with the story? Have you been riding outdoors this winter? I've gone out all of once, but am thinking of taking my bike out tomorrow, as they say it's going to be in the 40s. Welcome to the TE board!
