Lots of workouts and lots of miles when it might have hardly seemed worth it, paid off for Meg in NYC this weekend. Though we didn't see much of her in the two days leading up to the race, we were able to see her twice during the marathon. Planted behind the police barriers at 87th Street, we caught our initial look at her coming up First Avenue. Then we headed across to Central Park to catch high fives as she approached Mile 24. And at the end we met the proud finisher under the "H" in the family reunion area.

Of course we weren't the only family watching their daughter run the marathon and this father put a lot more than just the marathon into perspective for me.

That's why they call her megnut.

There's a traffic light at the foot of Salem Street where I stop twice a day, driving back and forth to Peter's office. When the light is red, which it usually is, I sit and look up at this Target ad. It's a great graphic in the daytime, but it especially makes me chuckle at night when the lamps are on. Such clever ads do influence me to check things out at Target.

Back when the Blogger tagline was push-button publishing for the people, and the big deal was being listed as Cool Tool of the Day, who could have imagined blogging's effect on society, captured in this Rob Rogers' editorial cartoon.
