And I&#8217;m now in the throes of feeling pregnancy uncomfortableness &#8212; swollen, sore feet, sore calves (especially after moving and carrying stuff up and down stairs) and lower back pain. Sigh. [...]]]></description>

I knew that the runners had been lamenting (a nicer word for whining) about the move to Memorial Day Holiday and mentioned it to Trinity. Trinity [...]]]></description>

Of course this was the night that the former Flavor Online folks decide to meet up at Oinkster, which I&#8217;ve been dying to try out. Anyway, as I expressed my regrets in the back-and-forth [...]]]></description>

But I&#8217;ve got this glow of joy and I kind of can&#8217;t stop grinning. As nervous as I was about organizing people, cooking and serving for about 120 people [...]]]></description>

Marc, pictured here with a scary-looking yet tasty s&#8217;more/churro concoction, was in town to cover the Angels-Orioles series for the Washington Post and was able to fit lil&#8217; ole me into his schedule.
