...meet with open water almost eight seconds ahead of the Radcliffe lightweights with a time of 6:46.51, and Georgetown nabbed second in 6:50.12. “I was happy with our season, [but] it was kind of disappointing to have a third-place finish to cap it off,” senior Sarah Bates said. “But there were definitely some high points to the season—it’s just too bad that we didn’t have a better race for our last race.” For the Black...

...because what shoots up seems always to drift back down, I postpone such long-term decisions for quick fixes that allow me to linger in denial. My best trick so far is to set a dollar limit every time I open my gas cap. The idea is always to spend the same amount--$50, say--and drive as far as I can on what it buys me, even if it's not as far as yesterday. That gambit works well for a week or two, I find, but then it gradually stops working because of the same sort of sloppy...
