Where’s the peanut butter?!

(this may look like YARE (yet another running entry) but it’s really not…)

About a month ago I ordered tickets online for The Spirit of the Marathon, which will be showing in about a week and a half around the US. Then last Friday I went to see There Will Be Blood at the same theater where the marathon movie will be showing. When I bought my tickets from the electronic vendor I was confused when it spit out an extra ticket. An extra receipt? I looked at the tickets and realized the extra one was for the marathon movie. I was still confused until I realized that I’d probably bought the other ticket online with the same credit card and it was just sitting in an electronic will-call queue, waiting to see that same credit card.

That’s technology at work. Soon, doppleganger-Greg will be out of work at the Neptune, too.

Notes from yesterday’s long run. This one I projected to be 11-12 and it came out to just under 13, so my estimates are improving.
