Hello and Good Morning! I’m not sure how I feel about the ‘signs’ for how today will go. Walking to the shop was like that film Entrapment and I was Catherine Zeta Jones having to bend around the lasers except the lasers were just things I didn’t want to step in.

It started in Paris, all of 21 years ago. It will finish in Paris, three months from now. When the Olympic men’s marathon reaches its denouement at Les Invalides on August 10, we may have an answer to a question athletics anoraks have debated for years: who’s the greatest distance runner of all time? In the red corner, out of Kenya, is Eliud Kipchoge. The best marathoner in history, hands down.

As summer ends and kids are headed back to school, I checked in with some Buzz-area high schoolers to find out what they’ve recently read and recommend. Each student selected a book that they enjoyed and then explained why the story resonated with them. Some of the choices are Young Adult books, and others are classified as adult reads. Lindsey Karkowsky, a senior at The Kinkaid School, selected The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (adult fiction).

Ryan and I met working behind the tills in HMV Cork in the winter of 2009. We bonded instantly, and as we are both natural romantics, began the process of myth-making in our friendship while it was still slippery from birth. We moved in together quickly.

I have a theory that youngest children are the most susceptible later in life to the concept of serial monogamy. My theory is very flawed, in that there is only one test case – myself. I have been with my partner for almost a decade. Before that, I was with a man for three years. Before that, a succession of boyfriends, in Cork city, where I was born. When you’re the baby of the family, your social capital is pitifully low.
