    Really liked this week's interview with Amby Burfoot. He sounded like a really cool guy.

    Kept my mind off my freezing fingers (memo to self: find lost winter running gloves soon.)

    Really enjoyed the interview - Amby Burfoot is a living legend, and exquisitely friendly and polite, too.
