More Tarmac Sports

Among other things, whenever he finds himself on a runway at an airport he breaks out a football or baseball for an "impromptu" game of catch. Hardly a day goes by without the release of photos of Kerry playing tarmac sports for an audience of photographers and reporters.

Here is one of today's shots, taken on a runway in Colorado. Kerry was playing catch with his daughter Vanessa:
