Cranky,
I saw you on the track! You were standing right in the middle of it trying to hitch a freakin' ride.
Can I suggest standing on the side of the road and hiking up your shorts a little?
Cooking advice? Would that involve giving them the number for Pizza Hut? Actually, I'm quite a cook myself. Maybe at our next event, I'll bring my sweet and sour wings (which can be made into hot wings). Nothing better than sticky finger when you go back onto the track.
But it still doesn't save me money. Gotta pay off those freaking student loans. My wife went to Syracuse, we'll be paying for it until we have kids and THEY are in college.
