Cross Your Fingers

Today is the big day!! It is the drawing for the 2000 lottery positions for the New York City Marathon. Basically, you have to qualify to run the marathon. Everyone who doesn't qualify gets put into a lottery. I am one of the thousands of people that are pooled into that lottery, hoping to get picked. By midnight tonight, they will have picked the 2000 spots, so keep your fingers, eyes and toes crossed all day for me. That may make it difficult to work, but I know your boss will understand!
Thanks,
Alex
