You know about collecting the lamb's blood in a silver urn though, right? Because if you don't have that, boy will your face be red. Actually, it's fawn's blood, but yeah. You are very, very, VERY evil.

What's funny is that's basically the scenery at that altitude/direction of travel everywhere between the Canadian Border and Snohomish County (and parts of King and Pierce county, and then again Thurston County south to the Columbia). Terrible ugly state I live in. Julia, it's raining a little where he's running, according to my weather radar sites.

Nah, I think that was in the 1928 prayer book, and has since been edited out. How did it go, actually? ;D It went fine, thank goodness. It was actually funny, because the priest (originally from Figi, so he had this awesome accent) had just been assigned to the church days ago, and this was his first christening there. He came in early to fill up the baptismal font, then couldn't figure out how to turn it off, so it overflowed, and basically flooded the church. Which is carpeted. D'oh! Then the poor man realized that he didn't have any way to light the candle, so he came out in the entry way where we were all waiting and asked if anyone smoked. Which was a little disconcerting, since at the time we didn't know he was only asking because he wanted to borrow a lighter! I was thinking it was some new rule about casting smokers out of the church that the Pope handed down recently. That finally got cleared up and a lighter was lent, and the baptism could finally get under way. I felt so badly for the priest that I didn't have time to get nervous about my responsibilities. I held the baby, and she slept through almost the entire ceremony. I had passed her off to the godfather by the time it came to pouring water on her head, and only then did she cry. So, yay me!

He's been running for over 4 hours, so far, and has made it over 25 miles. And he's giggling and taking pics and video and barely sweating. I WANT TO GO TO THERE. I think he's enjoying himself WAY too much. Doesn't he know you're supposed to be sober and martyr-like whilst performing charitable acts?

JULIA!I don't know if you're anywhere near this place, but Misha says he needs some meds. @mishacollins: I'll be passing through sedro-Woolley, WA in a couple of hours. If anyone lives near-bye, i could use some advil. I'm about a hundred and ten miles south; he's not running the direction I thought he'd be if he's in Sedro Wooley. I just drove myeslf a little crazier trying to get Googlemaps to inform me what river he's running next to; I think maybe the Sumas? Julia, about to be driven to paper maps, OH NOEZ

Maybe this is one his goals, to show how much fun doing charitable things can be. And how much fun and easy running 100+ kilometers can be. ;D

Looks to me like a great place for a long run.

Misha's latest twitpic, with caption: "They have a sadly outdated transportation system here in sedro-Woolley."He also posted a vid oh him running with 2 fangirls who found him and were running beside him, but there was no audio from it. It's been over 9 hours of running, people. I have trouble staying asleep for nine hours. He hit 64 kilometers over half an hour ago. And still showing no signs of stopping.

Looks to me like a great place for a long run. I was being all sarc, Monnificus. It's actually gotten hot- here-hot (80F) not Alabama hot- and the last video shows it. He actually is running the west edge of the survival race from three years ago; they did it in kayaks, though. Julia, sill person! He's getting tired

That must SUCK.
