While waiting along the Boston Marathon course, a Boston Globe reporter approached me and asked a few questions about the sign I was toting. He explained that he was doing a story about the big three events that commemorate Boston’s annual Patriots Day holiday–the marathon, the Red Sox and the revolutionaries. We had a fun exchange, and I didn’t hear anything more about it until yesterday. My dad is sending the newspaper clipping, but I found the article on Boston.com as well…here’s a couple excerpts:
**For the record, I love my wife very, very much, and the statements in this article were made in jest. I wouldn’t trade Kristie for anything, not even season tickets at Fenway.
(and then on page two of the newspaper my name suddenly goes from “McConnon” to “McCorrin.” But the editors weren’t the only ones that screwed up…I told the guy Kristie was 22, instead of 23. Whoops)
Kristie ran 26.2 miles and got her name and bib number in the Globe. I ran zero feet and got an interview. Where’s the justice in that?
Nice post McCorrin and nice disclaimer that you *actually* do love Kristie. Phew — I was worried.
Congrats Kristie on the marathon and graduation — what a huge week for you!
Hey, congrats to Kristie on the marathon and the graduation. Quite a gal. I feel so bad I missed you both. We passed like ships in the night – I was in Utah last weekend while you were here!
Man, you are a devoted husband to have been mere miles from the Mecca of baseball and not go! :-) loved the article. Kristie-your amazing. I’ll be placing a bet on you in vegas next year!
Way to go Kristie (oh, and good work on getting all the pub Tom)!
Kristie — you are AMAZING!!! Congrats on two HUGE accomplishments! LOL about the article… McCorrin, you would. :)
I just saw that RITA was in P-town! LOVE that woman to pieces.
Way to get an interview Tom. That is so cool….you are famous. Way to go Kristie….you did so awesome! We are so proud of you both. We love you tons and tons!
