On Jan. 12 , 1876, Jack London , the American author, was born.<br><br>
Out for Sunday's long run this morning in advance of tonight's late Patriot's game - anticipating bodily damage that would have hampered a run tomorrow. Seabiscuit and Iron Boy started at his place, picked up the Andyman at his place, and then the warden's husband and I near mine. We slipped a bit on the morning black-ice conditions but moved to the gritty margins and enjoyed the relatively mild low 30's temperatures for a scenic climb of Sagamore hill. We dropped the Andyman at 8 and I waved the remaining three goodbye at 8.5 for the 1.5 mile return to my place - 10.0 overall.<br><br><i>I would rather be ashes than dust!<br>
I would rather that my spark should burn out<br>
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.<br>
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom<br>
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.<br>
The function of man is to live, not to exist.<br>
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.<br>
I shall use my time.</i><br><br>
Be the meteor tri-peeps!!
