  5. I Love a Man in a Uniform
  6. Not Great Men
  7. Paralysed
  8. (Love Like) Anthrax

  12. No Kings
  13. At Home He's a Tourist
  14. Damaged Goods

Encore:

  1. I Found That Essence Rare
  2. Armalite Rifle
  3. Elevator




























The Downtown Boys Rocked Loud and Hard.  The Drummer and Vocalist may have worked harder than any performer I have witnessed, ever.




Also, On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.  

Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles). 

Weather report was that heating up was very possible - so DL grabbed Tippi early.  

This was my 48th marathon completed.

Our Route for the Marathon Distance.

Another from the Marathon Archives...

1st Wapack Range End-To-End
June 23, 1996 - Greenfield, NH to Ashburnham, MA

First ever installment of the "Wapack End-to-End" adventure.

80-Degrees, Sunny and Breezy.

I drove up to the event with CP, ready to tackle the challenge.  The Gulliver's really did a nice job coordinating the shuttle between points, as well as the aid stations.

Ran with Curt P and Paul F, finished in 4:54:59.  We lost some time on the top of one of the peaks searching for Paul's contact.

1:16:32 / 1:16:32
1:34:08 / 2:50:40
2:04:18 / 4:54:59
