The ultra-clean crowd of Jim Myers, John Domico, Tom Cali, Bob Cornwall, Greg Dillon, John Sheakoski, George Lesieutre, Lance Bland, Jim Moore, Meira Minard, Marty Klanchar, Mark Fedkin, Brett Michaud, Rich Harter, Michael Goldfine, Kathy Koetje-Simin, Jessica Wekke, Ann Marie Oldani, John Wilcock, Andy Arndt, Lee Culver, Ron Cunfer, Dave DeGroote, Esther Prins, Libby Covelli, and Marty Mazur headed to the MSF track, pushed along by cold, stiff breezes. On the way down, the discussion centered on fingers and hygiene. While it was concluded that one should use two different fingers for nose and ear care, it was not resolved the best way to keep these fingers straight, i.e. which is for which. And of course, the difficulties are compounded if fingers are also used for other activities, hygienic or not.

The Crew licked their fingers clean as Bwana announced the workout, knowing that they'd be touching each other quite a bit: two-person 6X2 lap relays. It's a tough workout, especially if you start too fast. Plenty of people were giving Bwana the finger between gasps.

Several trackers flipped Bwana the bird by not bothering to show up for today's travails. Tom Hilands plodded around the golf course, all by himself against the wind both ways. He must have had to keep his fingers someplace warm on the backstretch. Mark Lee poked his mates at Minitab in the eye, missing their rare group track outing. Greg Luna was eating Mexican finger food. (Tip to Greg: Watch where you scratch after handling hot peppers!) Beth Herndon was texting all her BFFs about her doings this weekend. (Ah, the digital age!) And Jonathan Thurley was spinning his fingers through his Rolodex, trying to find some rich alumni to button-hole to meet his fundraising quotas.
