Some people at my office got together a bay to breakers team last weekend, but I had to skip out for two main reasons:

1.I already missed mother's day, and it would have been really unwise to be late for dinner in Union City on Sunday.

2.Despite the casual fun-loving nature of the race, I probably would have tossed my cookies and passed out well before the end. Probably right before the Kenyan guy crossed the finish line, and not long after the back of the herd left the starting line. (it sounded like the office team actually ran the entire distance without stopping for beer)

I couldn't find any pictures of them, but I really like this one:

Also, my brother played the saxaphone in the math band at his graduation on Monday, which was not only Really Cool, but also made him a lot easier to find when he was on stage (he was on stage the entire time). He was also instructed to just hop to the front of the line whenever he felt like graduating which was also cool. The math band exists for one purpose, and that is to play at the math graduation. However, those who wish to join this elite society of musicians must attend at least one (1) rehearsal, or possibly just show up an hour ahead of time on graduation day. Actually, since there is only a limited number of students/faculty who can meet this criteria, and have access to a musical instrument, 2 or 3 elementary school children were also recruited to play.
