Long-lost cousins: they really do exist!

February 25th, 2007 by Chris

In the true spirit of blogging, here is something completely from left field for you to enjoy. I received an email the other day from a cousin (technically, second cousin) with whom I have not communicated since childhood. He turned 40 last year, and in honor of that auspicious milestone decided to do something significant: he walked 40 miles across Los Angeles in one day and took pledges for charity. He kept a blog of his preparations for the event and I have enjoyed reading his wonderful descriptions of Los Angeles, a city that I love to hate, but for which, in the end, I have a definite soft spot.

This was his route. For those of you who know just how huge Los Angeles is, you will be immediately impressed by the scale of this endeavor!

    PS. If he had taken the 405/101 he could have cut at least 20 miles off his trip! ;)
