Marathons

LIAM MEETS ATHENA

Marathons. All kinds. The NYC Marathon becomes a target. It is canceled. The Presidential race has been a marathon; it seems we have been listening to speeches forever. And the marathon cleanup in the wakes of Sandy and now Athena. The word has several meanings. 26.2 miles.  A long journey, often arduous, sometimes seemingly never ending, a battle in 490 BC

NYC Marathon done. Never started.

Marathon Election done. 

LIAM WATCHING DADDY PAUL WATCHING LIPA

Northeast Marathon cleanup nowhere near done.

Marathon of feelings- loss. despair, anxiety, abandonment, concern, helplessness, guilt, fear, regret, sadness, anger, disbelief, hope, insight, gratitude and acceptance as well as disappointment

It continues
Cold.
Dark
Changed landscapes

DOWNED MAPLE PERMITS SUN TO STREAM IN

There is sunlight where there was darkness -a tree once blocked the light.

People without homes. No power since Sandy. Then we have a nor'easter. And she is the first storm this year with a name. Athena.

LIAM OUT AFTER NOR'EASTER ATHENA

TWC thought this up. The National Weather Service does not back it.  Link below has an explanation. Many names are from Greek and Roman mythology. Next one is Brutus and he is out there.

LIAM SHELTERING WITH OUTDOOR ANIMALS

New friends. New shelters. Help coming. Not to all. People giving money, time, items.  Folks trying to do what they do best.  Telethon for Sandy video-these people did what they do best.  Have a listen
