Say something nice here about Dan and Dave: an inspiration
to all budding event planners, game show contestants on cable, and financial
analysts everywhere.
Anything else you would like to say? The path
of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish
and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and
goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike
down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt
to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord
when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

from 1985 – 1987, mortal enemies with Dave from 1987 – 1989,
Best of friends with Dave from 1989 to present. (Best man at my wedding)

think of anything.
For those that were in last year’s race…
…what was the best part of the race for you?
Running back and forth across the first 200 yard span of the Brooklyn Bridge
with 4 other equally befuddled teams. Hilarious....can't wait to
do it again.
…and what advice would you give to this year’s new
racers? Don't be so hard on yourself when you first read
the clues and feel like you're only a few IQ points above an imbecile.

Who probably looks better naked – Dan or Dave (remind yourself
who is organizing the teams before writing your response)? Why do
I have to guess? The quality of the digital photos that
I have is so good that the winner is obvious. Just judge for yourself.
Go here
Say something nice here about Dan and Dave: They
are both completely comfortable with shameless self promotion.
Anything else you would like to say? In all seriousness,
I cannot acknowledge Dave and Dan enough for all of their work in
organizing this event for a second year in a row. For those who don't
know, the race last year was nothing short of spectacular. The amount
of time and effort and money that is required to pull off this event
so beautifully is absolutely staggering. From the creativity
of authoring the clues; to the scouting of race locations; to the
coordinating of teams and race checkpoints; to the printing and laminating
of materials; to the website design; to the food and after party; and to
handling all of the hundreds of details and problems that pop up along
the way, you both deserve more thanks and appreciation than I can possibly
provide. So I will just once again say THANK YOU for creating another
tremendous experience for all of us. You guys rock!
