Greetings from Disney

Everybody's talking about "Frankenstorm," this huge mess of a Tropical Storm called Sandy that is apparently going to pummel us pretty good back early next week. For now, we are at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, after a busy but smooth day of traveling with two parties. In an amazing stroke of luck and timing, I was able to have dinner with two Marist Administrators last night, and it was great catching up with them while they are down here. The rest of the team enjoyed dinner here at Coronado Springs and a relaxing night in the area.

This morning, we will head over to ESPN/Disney's Wide World of Sports to run through the course that our women and men will race on Saturday morning. Although we are far away from home, we have strong support from family and alumni -- within seconds of checking in, we ran into a group of recent alums who are down here for the weekend! In terms of how the weather will affect us down here, it seems the main factor will be wind and not so much rain, and it appears today will be the worse of the two days weather-wise. OK, off to find some coffee ...
