Do the Hustle!

Oh, yeah…

The time has arrived. Months of training have come to fruition.




That’s right, I made the Hancock my bitch! 94 floors in just seconds over a half hour!! I’m proud that I’ve finished…and anonymous and that certain other person who said I’d never make it…Fuck you—I did it!

Here's the start...


...and the finish!



Thanks to Peter for the pics!

I even got a medal! I’ve never gotten real hardware before!



All the fundraising went to the American Lung Association of Metropolitan Chicago, and to top it off, (per our deal) Jack has kicked the habit and quit smoking! (Congrats, Jack—I’m so proud!) It was a win/win situation!

And next year…I’ll be sure to make it in under a half hour :)
