Running

On Wednesday after work Ali and I hit another distance personal best, covering 5.25 miles, less than a mile off a 10k. It was tough and afterward I ate everything in sight. I feel tired in a totally different kind of way when we do the distance training runs. Tomorrow we have another 5k race in LaBelle.

I just love the latest mess W has gotten himself into with the UAE group buying US ports. It is great to see a bi-partisan lynch mob coming after him. Even if the takeover is 100% completely legit, Bush should have realized how this would appear to the US public. His staunch support of the move just further cements his role as one of the most ignorant presidents of all time. Freedom, terror, 911, 911, God Bless America. Kudos.

I was ok with who got axed last night on AI except for the one good looking chick. She wasn’t a fantastic singer but she was better than some and not nearly annoying as that girl from New York (Brenna?) with minimal talent and maximum attitude. I can’t wait till she is gone.

I finally got the Tivo to record some hot Winter Olympic curling action. For a sport that in reality is as captivating as emptying the dishwasher, I watch it with great interest. The furious sweeping, the hilarious release approach of the stone is all very fun for me to watch. If you stop laughing long enough you realize that the precision these guys exhibit really is pretty amazing.

Our tax refund has grown even larger thanks to tax breaks for hurricane victims. We are getting back enough now to really help soften the blow once the new pool cage goes up.
