Curtis ran in a cross country running meet. The course was two miles long. He was upset because he did not do as well as he would have liked, and his gut hurt. But this was, after all, his first meet, and he had only one practice session. So I think he did well to finish the course at all.

  Saturday (8/28/2010) we went to the Air Show at Pease AFB. It was a beautiful day for an air show, and the pilots and jumpers were great. But, wow what a crowd of people! I'm not a big fan of big crowds. It turned the day into a day of going from one long line to another. Plus no coolers, outrageous prices at the concessions, and crappy food. I waited two hours in line to get the worst chicken sandwich I've ever had, and paid seven bucks for it. Three fifty for a bottle of water. Then it took over two and a half hours to get out of the parking lot. Only the porta-potties did not have lines all day, thank goodness for that!
  On top of all that, they had huge tents and a row of porta potties set up between the area we were in and the runway. You could only go up the the fence at the runway if you paid extra. I guess the promoters don't care about their customer's experience, unless you pay some ridiculous prices for the 'vip' area. Sorry if that sounds like a lot of complaining, overall I am glad I went, but, I am sad to say, it will be a long time before I go back there again.
