Day 8

"All I can do is be me, whoever that is." -Bob Dylan

#np - Independent Women Part 1 by Destiny's Child

Dear Destiny's Child,

We need a reunion album with the same "make me wanna dance!" songs as before.

Sincerely,

A fan

Today is another LONG class day.  Thursdays are definitely the worst.  But, tomorrow I leave for Paducah and the 17th Ever BBQ on the River which is my favorite hometown event of the year.  

The BBQ on the River has always relied on community and volunteer support.  The BBQ vendors donate their profits to various Paducah charities and the 5K is supported by lots of local businesses.  I volunteered at several of the first BBQ 5Ks with my swim team.  We took the tags off the runners as they finished.  Several vomited on me in the process.  It wasn't a pleasant experience.  I'd rather run the 5K than do that ever again.  I think it's one of those things they could only get kids to do.  #beingolderbonus
