The first Sunday in November

I wish, of course, I was out cheering for my marathoning cousins. However, as the NY Marathon so rudely did not select them, I'm doing one of my favorite things and watching the entire event on TV. I love watching marathons on television, a fact that mystifies many people. I had to go to a conference yesterday, or I would have gone to watch the Olympic Marathon Trials--5 laps around Central Park. But I can't believe one of the entrants died.
