Thanks to my friend Elizabeth, I recently found out about a charity event held by the Special Olympics of Virginia in early summer.
This is the Crystal City Hilton in Arlington, Virginia. (Ironically located right near my old office)
I decided why not? This activity combines charity with hotels and doing something insane. I figure I can run a 5K or do a Polar Plunge anytime. But how often do you get to climb down the side of a hotel and not get arrested. You'll notice the widget (actual term) on the left of the page that chronicles my race to $1K. If I get more, I can earn a night at the hotel or a dinner. But if I get $2,000, I get another rapelling spot. So someone can join me if I get enough. So cough up a few dimes. I might spring for a costume....

So if I read this right, you'd scream my name if I gave 250 bucks? AND buy me a beer? That's extremely tempting.
At what point do you put on a costume? Sell me on this!
So, an old public health colleague amazingly stepped up so I will yell her name and buy her a beer. But 15 stories is time for plenty of yelling and I'm going to get thirsty because all of the urine will escape from my body when I go over the edge.
I'm going to have a costume contest in a little bit. So far I'm liking either Eviel Keneivel or Elvis. Thoughts?
What about the outfit that Ace Ventura wore when he was in the mental institution? I believe it was a Hawaiian shirt and a tutu.
