Jesse, you've been doing tons of fun travelling along the coast recently. I'm awfully envious. Or is it jealous. What's the difference between the two again?
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hi folks, I've been away from WiFi for a few days and out on a sail boat with 30 middle school kids. In the rain. Which I admit signs like a terrible idea but it was great. My daughter is freaking fearless. Oy! I need to put together an album of pics for Facebook. But right now I'm sitting with a cousin's pomeranian I think this dog has been bred to be nuthin but cute.

Glad it wasn't bad, Burrell--that definitely sounds like it could be a nightmare.
Other nightmares: my autocorrect does not update "belieber". Wtf.
I just got to the race start (it doesn't start for an hour but I have a book. And the Internet). They claim at least a few people are walking the 10k...but there's only about 90 people signed up. Eek.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
May the road before your feet be smooth. May your mind and body be strong. May you run your best for you. May there be no injuries today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Have a good run, meara. Hooray for books and the internet!
I am thinking about signing up for a 5k on June 21. It is tempting me with offers of champagne and chocolate at the finish line. That's more than a month away, plenty of time, maybe.
Relatedly, I am still sore from riding my bike on Thursday so I should probably do more of that.

meara! You're doing the thing! That's more than most people do. Gold star for showing up. A waterfall of gold stars for crossing the finish line -- doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there.
I am eating Dubliner cheese and blackberries and drinking coffee. In a few minutes I'm going to throw on an eShakti dress and get brunch downtown.

Jesse, you've been doing tons of fun travelling along the coast recently. I'm awfully envious. Or is it jealous. What's the difference between the two again?
Easy way to remember: envy is when you want something (or someone) that someone *else* has; jealousy is when you don't want someone to have what *you* have (someone or something).
Hence jealous-feeling spouses if they feel like something is threatening to take away what they have and envying someone's vacation because you wanna go on vacation too!

It is tempting me with offers of champagne and chocolate at the finish line.
That's (almost) better than a finisher's medal! (Seriously, those medals are like crack to me.)

Chicago sucks. None of the runs I've done the past several years have had medals.
