This is my trip to Rochester, in a collage.

Now on to yesterday:




Official time for the Utica Parkway 10K Developmental Race yesterday: 48:35, 11/38, 1st in 21-25 age division... not bad for having run five miles just two hours before.

My body feels remarkably good today.

Rough day for iPhone #2, however.

Yesterday's athletic feats were cause for jubilant culinary celebration; a traditional Utican dinner: Chicken riggies (from Waterville's Huddle on the Main...yum!) and Saranac beer. De-licious.



I am curious when the entrance exams for theory and history are for Amherst... lots of studying to be done.

News of the Day: (an irregular new feature maybe?)

Ky. champion ham fetches $1.6 million for charity

August 26, 2010

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --Start baking those biscuits and stirring that red-eye gravy. Two donors have pledged a record $1.6 million for Kentucky's grand champion country ham.

That works out to about $100,000 a pound for 16 pounds of Kentucky's favorite cured meat.

The auction is the highlight of the Kentucky Farm Bureau's annual Kentucky Country Ham Breakfast at the state fair in Louisville.

This year's winning ham was produced by Broadbent B&B Foods of Kuttawa in western Kentucky.

Bernard Trager, chairman of Republic Bank and Trust, and Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, owner of Dr. Bizer's Vision World, contributed $800,000 each Thursday for the ham.

The money -- and the meat -- will go to local charities.

The previous record of $1.3 million was set last year.

Waiting for a small dinner gathering at the New Hartford Applesleaze... John and Cate from Stage II and Frank- a mutual friend. Perhaps others if they heard of it?

I leave for Amherst in two days. No looking back now... bring on the new students!
