Good luck with Boston, Glen! I'm sure you'll do fine. We will be cheering you on in spirit. Real bones, huh?

Thanks TJ! Yup, real bones allright. The bones are from a bone growth condition in the lower and upper jawcalledtori.We put together the necklace last night.

Here is a short story from the Boston Herald.

Boston Herald
Glen Raines, 44, of San Diego, Calif., might be a high-tech software engineer, but he ran the marathon “caveman” style. In a loincloth. No shoes. He calls himself the “barefoot running caveman.”
Raines says he’s been running barefoot for two years. At the finish line he posed for pictures and took compliments from female runners ... you know how the ladies like a caveman. This is Raines’ first Boston Marathon, caveman or otherwise.

“It was all great. I feel amazing. I just worked off the crowd. The energy of the crowd carried me all the way through ... That makes it so worthwhile. I’m surprised; I thought I was going to freeze,” Raines said. Hey, that’s the way to caveman up!

Way to go Caveman!!!
