Vote for MattMy old college roommie Liz (aka Pants) has asked me to help out her friend’s husband. He’s in some online golf contest thingy, and if he gets the most votes, he gets to play golf with Justin Timberlake. (Sweet, I know.) I’ve voted for him a couple times now, but he’s way behind…

I am perhaps not as hard core as I thought. Today is my third day without a run. My duodenitis has flared up again. (For those who don’t know, this is basically a stomach ulcer.) It started bothering me last weekend, and I figured it was just the stress of changing jobs. I saw my…
