falling down on their (scary) job

The scaremongering at CNN is getting kinda lax, don’t you think?

For example, they tell you about the evildooer amoebas in Orlando, that have killed three kids with an ‘extremely rare’ illness, but neglect to say anything about the two people in Texas that died three weeks apart from the same thing. (I know, Dr. Gupta is busy right now, and soon there will be a full blown series on this deadly non-epidemic, but for now they are paying more attention to OJ than this silent but deadly killer in our lakes)

And at least five cases in one summer – that we know about – can we drop the ‘extremely’ yet and just say it’s rare? How many people have won the lottery this summer?

wake up, sleepyhead

Well, not to leave y’all on pins and needles, I got up and ran four miles this morning. Nothing special, but it was a little cooler and a lot less humid than before, so that was nice.

I’ll let you know if I happen to win a shirt (see Homework), they should announce by the end of the week.

Guess what starts tonite? SOCCER! Ah, yes, we’ll have some stories soon.

Sorry I’ve been so boring, y’all. Maybe I’ll win the lottery or get mugged or something so I’ll have something to blog about.

ya snooze, ya loose

I was supposed to run for an hour and a half on Saturday morning. I didn’t.

I was supposed to make up that run on Sunday morning. I didn’t.

I was supposed to just totally skip the long run and get “back on track” for four miles this morning, as previously scheduled. Guess what? I didn’t.

On the plus side, I haven’t been hitting the snooze alarm over and over and over. Instead, I just turn it off at the first beep or two and go back to sleep. Yeah, I’m real proud of myself.
