PR'd a 10K today in honor of my late Uncle's birthday. He ran five miles a day right up until the end at 75 a few years ago and was a constant source of inspiration for my own running. Wish I could tell him I got sober and talk smack about the Sox-Yankees playoff series but I know he's watching.

Yesterday marked twice that everyone around me in my section was crying at a Sounders game. The first time was tears of joy for Nouhou's second goal of his MLS career, yesterday was tears of anguish for our fallen captain Stefan Frei. Both times I was reminded how soccer connects us as community.

Sending me countless cold emails that I don't reply to is not "circling back on our conversation" it is harassment, knock it off.
