Thursday a.m.

Just reporting. You decide.

Good morning! Wow, another warm wonderful day awaits! Last one for a while. I am so thankful that the marathon is not today. This weather would be really bad for a marathon. In fact, today is a lot like the day of my 2009 Monumental FAIL. Man, that was a bad experience, but from it came the drive and determination that led me to Boston. Truly good things can come from bad.

Today I am finishing up my stuff for Sunday. I'm in pretty good shape this week, so I hope to have some time late afternoon to work in the yard and around the house some. I need to get a little more firewood organized. That might happen also. I must get up on the house and blow leaves out of my gutters. Before I get to that, I have several things to do, places to go, people to see. You know, all the usual stuff.

Yesterday was a good day that was filled with all the usual stuff also. I got a nice little run in early in the morning. The rest of day unfolded nicely. I helped a few people along the way, I think, and that's always good.

We had quite the spirited class last night. We talked about the recent debate in Indiana, the one where rape and abortion were discussed. We had a good conversation about all that, and as you would expect, there were differing opinions and ideas about it. The class went over by about 20 minutes. I dismissed but hardly, if anyone, left.

I hope you are have a great day today! I plan to.
