Foot, have you ever seen the spoof series "Documentary Now!" with Fred Armisen and Bill Hader? It's subtle-funny, in ways that big documentary fans will appreciate. Each episode stands alone; my favorite from season 1 was "Kunuk Uncovered."

Thanks for reminding me! That is on my list.

My son keeps pulling up "The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young" on Netflix.

It's a quintuple marathon bushwhacking through the steep wooded hills of Tenn. The guy who runs it is a real character and the people who participate are a special breed. It's all he and his friends are talking about these days.

The race was held this past weekend, and a guy from DC finished it. Another guy would have finished it, but he was 6 seconds too slow crossing the finish line before the 60 hour cut-off.

listening to a show last weekend and the author being interviewed talked about a special sentence that could improve every novel. "Call me Ishmael. And that's when the murders began."

"Another guy would have finished it, but he was 6 seconds too slow crossing the finish line before the 60 hour cut-off. And that's when the murders began."

Yeah, that fits.
