Today, I saw at least three grammatical/spelling errors in my latest one - three days later! - and I was sore tempted to fix them, even though anyone who's gonna read that post has already done so.<br /><br />I just figured that by "3-Card Monty" you meant your Friend Montgomery Burns, who runs three distinct businesses - Nuclear Power Plant; Slurry Factory; and Right-wing Talk Radio Station - and therefore has 3 business cards. I never dreamed it was a misspelling.<br /><br />Speaking of wingnuts (<i>*coff-coff*</i> NIC!) ... yeah, Yankee fan, too, huh? Geez, why not just give Darth Vader a reach-around while yer at it, Dr. Nic?<br /><br />I spent more time this morning than I care to admit to working on a Nic-kertwanging post in response to his new bloggy header, but it absolutely refused to cohere.<br /><br />It was set in the future and YOU were the narrator.<br /><br />But it just didn't work.<br /><br />Naturally, I blame you.<br /><br />So ... this round goes to Dr. Nic, I regret to say ...Glaven Q.

The last two hours I was kind of thinking I'd rather be home on the couch.<br /><br />So, you ask how long you'll be out with pneumonia... well I always told my patients in urgent care to take a week off of work minimum and then see how they felt (that was if I didn't admit them to the hospital). But you know, it varies a lot. Just take the time it requires so you can avoid the worst place in the world for recovery: the hospital.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-45593397374883980712009-10-26T16:21:45.425-05:002009-10-26T16:21:45.425-05:00LOL!

Of course that is 100meters, not miles, but I am running ultras now so I only think in mile units! 19 hours WOULD be the time of an invalid at 100 meters.<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better soon.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695365862543446730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-13341712088197264332009-10-25T19:31:41.297-05:002009-10-25T19:31:41.297-05:00Yesterday I ran to the local woods, when I arrived...Yesterday I ran to the local woods, when I arrived I jumped onto and over the hay bale which guards the entrance. Once in the woods I admired the flaming yellow trees and the warm light reflected on the muddy path. The air was cool, a slight breeze, and I started doing 1000m hard loops around the trails, with a 400m jogging rest bewteeen loops. 12 loops later I emerged from the woods muddy, smiling, and for kicks ran an all out 300m sprint into the adjacent park. I walked 2 miles home, drank some cider (soft), ate left over sag paneer, and looked forward to running the McNotAgain 30 miler next Saturday at McNaughton Park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-82664104616783220762009-10-25T18:22:54.881-05:002009-10-25T18:22:54.881-05:00How about this...after the Groton trail race today...How about this...after the Groton trail race today I had some friends back to my place for beers and junk food on the front porch.
