Green Man Singular


If October 31 = Halloween...

Our neighbors carved elaborate pumpkins.


...and November 1 = the New York City Marathon...


Runners on 4th Ave. in Brooklyn

The logical conclusion is...


Please note the man in green body paint.

...running in costume.


This nice woman was handing out bananas to passing runners around the 10k/six-mile mark. Sustenance!


Other than the man in green body paint, we saw many men in hot pink leggings, a man with an ostrich costume, several flag capes and flags painted on faces, a man in a kilt, many interesting hats, headbands, and wigs, and other assorted strange sartorial choices. It made the marathon quite interesting to watch.

I watched and cheered for about twenty minutes, then came back inside and made hot chocolate. Running 26 miles just ain't my thing.
