First, I don’t really run. I’m more of a trotter because I’m not at all fast. It’s a shame, really, I am very competitive but alas my body won’t cooperate. If winning only took the mental discipline, well I’d be world class at sports. As things stand, I get passed by almost everyone when I run. Oh well.
The sun sets earlier now which makes me sad. Boston is further east in the time zone and I can tell in the evenings. Plus we are pretty far north—42.36°N. That’s still further south than Bad Kreuznach, Germany (49.51°N) where I lived for three years, but further north than Kansas City was (39.11°N).. The sun isn’t quite so high in the mornings when I run, which is good because baby it’s been hot.
I see a lot of people walking their dogs when I’m running. I like dogs a lot but I’d hate to have to walk one several times a day, rain or snow, heat or cold. No thanks.
I realize many will disagree with my next sentence but it’s still true: I love WalMart. Specifically I love the cheap prices. I’m so very glad there’s one near work because the closest one to us in Boston? Is in Providence, RI.
Kent gets back today from helping his mother move. She’s having an estate sale today and I hope she’s able to sell everything and then do something nice with the money. She’s a neat lady and deserves good things.
Speaking of good things, my mother is also a neat lady—plus she had her knee replaced last week. So now she’s both neat and bionic.
Yes, my brain wanders in strange ways when I run.

I do like the bionic image for someone who has to have a knee replaced. Tell your mother that the first two weeks are the worst and then it will start feeling better and better for a whole year, and stay pain-free for years after that.
