Next weekend (Sunday, to be precise), the honorable gentleman Terence Lee will be running in the 2008 New York City Marathon. The marathon is Terence’s third (he’s previously run in Munich and Philadelphia), and he’s striving to achieve an incredible time of 3:10, which would put him in the 97th percentile of all runners. Yeah, pretty decent.
Anyway, a sizable Amherst contingent is heading down to New York to watch the race. We’ll be there Saturday night at the least (potentially Friday too), and then all day Sunday to watch the marathon. After the race we will descend en masse upon Jake’s Dilemma, a terrific bar on Amsterdam. All in all, it promises to be a spectacular weekend. A few New Yorkers, including myself (technically I’m a Westchester resident, but near enough) will be hosting revelers and offering rides to and from the city. If you’re a friend of Terence’s, or just interested in supporting a fellow Jeff, send me an email at bgoldfarb09@amherst.edu.
After the (quite modest) success of the Ballad of Sarah Palin, I thought I’d write a song to commemorate this momentous occasion. Given my vocal ineptitude, and the magnitude of the situation, I delegated singing responsibilities to Monica L and Olivia K, both of whom sound lovely. Lyrics, instrumentation, and production by yours truly.
Hope to see you in New York on Nov. 2nd!

I like how I gave up on the southern accent after the first verse.
