I guess if you hate German cold, gloom, and rain, El Paso can look kind of nice.

Doubly nice to hear the race director sent out a personalized letter. There's a richness to this race report that comes out sort of sideways.

So when did you decide to ditch the "dog beating stick"? Or did you finish it with the stick in hand? ;-)Zoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16869311055000421470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-86573546644312817542013-03-03T17:18:32.232-07:002013-03-03T17:18:32.232-07:00Well, that's quite a story!

He hated it. When I read about the town's history, I doubt my own experiences and think El Paso must be worthwhile, but I have yet to meet anyone who has anything good to say about it.
