Slightly off-topic, but thought I’d share anyway. The USPS post man was very kind to me today; two pieces of mail, both with good news.
#1 – $250 check from Richmond Sports Backers for my 1st Place Male Masters at the 2008 Richmond Marathon. I actually received the hardware award towards the end of December but had almost forgotten about the prize money. Nice surprise……
#2 – Cast your minds back to April 2008 when my MINI Cooper S was broken into during a cold, wet Sunday morning 20 miler. Long story short, the police caught the guy a couple of weeks later (there were 12 other victims during a 2 week period) and he was finally found guilty of credit card theft, attempted grand larceny and 2 counts of grand larceny just before Christmas. Looks like I’ll be receiving restitution for some of the loss at a rate of $50 a month – good for a couple of race entries, eh? It seems like the break-in was such a long time ago (even though I’m still finding shards of glass in my car), so it’s great to put the event behind me and know that justice has been done.
Hope you’re all having a great week…
Great news all around!
