Observations about the news....

Some of the ICU rooms have TV's, and some of them are tuned to CNN or Fox. Either way, I just got to see "The Anoited One" deliver his speech. Now, I am no PoliSci major, nor have I been really all that in tune with politics over the past 40 years, but here is a question....

If the Steelers were facing the Cowboys in the super bowl, and found themselves overall ahead but in a struggle for yardage late in the 3rd quarter, would the Steeler's coach even DREAM of handing over his playbook to the Cowboys??????

Note: I am not a football coach, armchair or otherwise. I do not endorse football, nor am I endorsed BY football. I do, however, own a football. I also own a set of BDU's and ACU's, and am thus more qualified to understand the military half of the analogy than the football half, but I think that I got it right........

Heck, Bryce is only 3 (well, ALMOST), and when he plays hide and seek, he doesn't tell the seeker where he is going to hide and when. HE GETS IT.....why doesn't our President???
Lemme know......

Running in the dark



Thanks to T, last night I was able to run the trail from Wilder to Montshire Museum in back. I used my larger headlamp, but it seems to eat batteries like I eat chips and dip. I will have to switch to my little micro light next time and see how it goes.


The trail was completely snow covered, except for where it was ICE covered. Again, thanks to T I was able to maintain my footing with ease. Actually, thanks goes to Weeb, too, for getting me the fancy blue shoes last year for Christmas. The two together worked great on the trail.

Even though it seemed as if I were making good time while running, my overall time on course was 40 minutes, which puts me at a terrible 12 plus minute mile average! So it was dark, so it was cold, so i had to step gingerly so as not to turn an ankle (or worse) on the frozen, pothole filled trail....so?

I am acutally very happy with the results, and the fronts of my legs are 'feelin the burn' today. Once again, thanks, T!!!! Love ya, +1.....me
