a defining moment, an instant answer for the “where you when…” question that’s inevitably asked after a major event that knocks the entire world to its very core, and just for an instant, you wonder if life will ever be the same. For my American Grandparents, it was Pearl Harbor. For my parents, it was the JFK Assassination. For the longest time, mine was Princess Diana’s death in a Paris Tunnel the first weekend of my sophomore year of college. I can still picture Meg Ryan’s face as we turned off D.O.A — the last “normal” television I watched for a week — and turned on NBC hoping, waiting, to hear that the boy who’d wandered into the dorm room with the news was somehow mistaken or trying to play a cruel joke. is a 5K run/1 mile walk that leaves at the bright and shiny hour of 7:00 AM from police headquarters on Fayette Street downtown.

It’s limited to 1,000 runners, so register at the website today. is a James Bond Themed Casino night from 7-midnight at the Pier 5 Hotel.
