Marathon Man
Paul Selsky, as all you guys must know, ran a marathon recently. This is a fantastic accomplishment. He is obviously fit as a fiddle. I engage in lifting 12 oz. weights (or pints, if they have brews on tap) and tennis, but that's about it.
Inspiration
The person who inspired me to become a journalist was Ernest Hemingway, who was a reporter and war correspondent besides being one of America's great novelists. I first read Hemingway, I guess, in high school, "The Son Also Rises," in which a foreign correspondent is one of the characters. I was in Havana in November, and stopped by one of Hemingway's old haunts, the Floridita bar. Here I am having a drink with Hem. Looks like I spilled some on my shirt, or maybe he spilled it. Hem could be a sloppy drunk sometimes.
