Carbo Loading

Kym, Molly, Eric, John, and Betsy and I are at Jody's, recovering from a long day of eating. We started with yuppy and yummy organic donuts from Donut Plant on Grand Street, moved on to salty snack foods, then concluded with a tasty dinner, including roast chicken, ravioli, garlic bread, and salad. Tomorrow Molly and Kym will be running the marathon, so they were carbo loading. The rest of us were just eating too much. Now Jody is making signs to cheer on the runners and rest of us are lying around trying to digest. We will post more tomorrow on the ultimate family death march. Kate

Earlier in the day, during the eating of the donuts, we watched several episodes of Lost and read Television Without Pity simultaneously, on 2 different laptops, a mac and a pc. Basically it was a typical Culkin gathering, tons of food and even more TV talk. In general we are disapointed with the TV season so far, but continue to watch through the less then stellar shows. I found this all wonderful because it calmed my pre-race jetters, and for once I had an excuse for eating my own weight in bread. Molly
