He was giving a lecture as part of the Lamar Dodd School of Art's (where I did my undergrad) Visiting Artist and Scholar Lectures. It's an understatement to say Witkin is an interesting guy.

The youngest daughter of the hosts, age two I think, who has a perfect baby gender guessing record, guessed girl. For the other couple, she guessed boy, which is correct.

I can at least say I did one race this year. Amazingly enough, I did alright with approximately zero training. It is a lot harder to carry 215 through a race than it is 195, but that's what you get after quitting running and no diet changes. So. Results are in.
