The "Battle On The Bayou" race at Ocean Springs celebrated its tenth year this past weekend. I am one of nine people who have participated in all ten races. When I decided to attend the first one in 2010, it was because it wasn't too bad a drive from Memphis, the course distance suited me okay, and I needed a race to do at that time of year. I never set any grand goal to make ten of these in a row; it just sort of became a habit, driving down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast each March to open my race season. Now I have yet another reminder of the relentless march of time.

Yes, I know I stick out like a sore thumb in this photo. They gave each of us a special orange shirt to wear, but I'd left mine back at the house. And to think I'm usually so good at blending into the wallpaper...
