I met Calvin at the Grand Central Shuttle my first day back after the Hurricane. He had come from Atlanta and was one of the 1000's of disappointed runners who learned that the marathon was cancelled. He was dedicating the run to his grandparents. His attitude was wonderfully accepting of not being able to accomplish his plan, but I think his grandparents will be proud of him no matter what.
Zeus a photographer, videographer along with friend Chat passed by me as I gigged at Grand Central Shuttle. They asked me to sing for Chat's boyfriend Jon's birthday.
What inspires Zeus? "Music" and Chat? "Giving"
