<p>Haha.  Wondering the same thing!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I slept in until 6:20 this morning!  Woot.  Although I kind of slept like crap (not so woot).  3 more sleeps until Chicago!  Bring it, baby!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and I got an awesome review yesterday, so that was pretty sweet.  It is nice to feel valued at work when you give so much of yourself to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Thursday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(if you can't tell, I am in a much better mood/mind set today - hope the same is true for the lot of you!)<br>

<p>They Might Be Giants are still around??  Wow, they've been around forever...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since I'm on a self-imposed hiatus from running, I went to the gym yesterday and did more lifting than I've done in a long time.  I'm actually surprised I'm not more sore today...  Dunno what I'll do today.  I wanted to start swimming again, but I see that both pools at my gym are reserved this evening for something or another.  But I see the pool is open tomorrow night.  I guess my renewed swimming career will have to wait until then.  Still doesn't clear up what I'll do tonight.  Maybe more lifting.  Or maybe another day off.  Or maybe I'm just stupid enough to attempt another run...  We'll see...</p>

<p>The team I ran Cabot Trail Relay with when I lived in Fredericton were called They Might Be Runners.  <span id="user_yui_3_4_0_20_1317908255989_12"><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_20_1317908255989_11" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>It's brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold today!  Yuck!  Really windy, too!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that, I really don't have a lot to report.</p>

Whew!  I would have been really surprised if you were excited about seeing The Michael Bolton Group.  <span id="user_yui_3_4_0_20_1317908669342_12"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_20_1317908669342_11" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Cool for swimming, <strong>Bob</strong>.  I need to motivate myself into the pool too.  My class was cancelled last Saturday due to a swim meet, and this Saturday I'll miss it because my cousin is getting married.  I haven't been motivated to go to the pool on my own in a few months.  Bah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Running also is bah.  Oh well.  This is what happens when work and life conspire against you.  Oh, and also when you never get more than 5 hours of sleep a night, and that's WITH sleeping pills every night.  Oh well again.  Five hours a night is way better than what I've been living with for the past, oh, 10 years or so.  I'll take it. <br>

<p>Morning, all.  Back is feeling very good today, which is a huge yay!  However, it appears as if another stye is developing in the same eye.  Oh, joy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't remember if I mentioned this last night, but I withdrew from my conference next weekend, and I still feel crappy about it.  Oh, well.  Now I need to figure out how to run a class discussion for 1:15:00 about child soldiers.  Yeah, that should be fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hooray for better moods!</p>
<p>Boo for achy bits!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's almost Friday.  We can make it!</p>

<p>LOL...when I see the Tuesday and Thursday title threads, I think of New Orleans (as in Who Dat? and the Saints)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, good morning everyone.  Got in a nice strengthening workout last night after I got home.  Planning to run in the city after work today, and if the weather cooperates, the Blue Angels will be doing practice runs overhead for this weekend's Fleet Week here in SF.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don't know if anyone watched the Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race" but the first edition's winner (Nom Nom) is supposed to set up shop in front of my building for lunch today. I've heard some not so good reviews about their banh mi (it's not worth the $7 they're charging) but curiosity will probably get the better of me and I'll give it at try.</p>

<p>I noticed the "dat" too, and went to correct it but thought, maybe there's something to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went to Dewey Drink last night as planned...we ended up with kamikazes (no monkey balls, alas), which were HUGE. When did a shot become 4 oz??? Oof. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I went to tap class.  Note to self:  there's something to be said for tapping after a shot. I was much less concerned about screwing up!  Actually, it was great to be back at tap and nice to see I actually do remember quite a bit and my feet have some muscle memory for it now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back feels ok today too...I was careful when I got home from class, I stretched more, took some advil, and put on a Salonpas patch after I took a hot shower.  Woke up a little stiff this morning but able to move.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My father's going home today, so my aunt is going to pick him up and I'm going to head up there after work.  I'll stay with him for a few days.  Probably through Sun but might stay til Mon morning.  I'm really nervous about being his caregiver, not that I expect he'll need that much care besides cooking a bit and helping him get in and out of bed and his chair.  Still, this is first time I've had to do anything like this, esp for my father...I hope I can manage.  There will be lots of family and friends coming and going at his house, I'm sure I won't really have to do this alone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I plan to bring some running stuff and make that one of the breaks I take over the weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>good news on your back too, Prae. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congrats, Mindi! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice run, Kris!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Theia, how is your father?</p>

<p>QOD:  what are the mascots of your school teams?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mine were: </p>
<ul><li>North Andover Scarlet Knights (complete with a mascot in a knight costume that rode in on a white horse.)</li>
<li>Boston University Terriers (the dog is known as Rhett, "because no one loves Scarlet [sic, team colors are red and white] more than Rhett")</li>
<li>Simmons College Sharks (I had to look this up!  I had no idea.)</li>
</ul><p> </p>
