thank goodness for columbus day, a free day off of work. all the animals are sound asleep. think i will take the dog for a walk in the woods, i have not been on the trail in quite a while. i have been on my break from all things running ever since wasatch, and i am enjoying it thoroughly. since today is 10-11, i guess it has officially been a month. i do have the itch though, i am already thinking about what i want to do next. of course, it will have to all work around the other stuff in life that has to be taken care of!

decided to NOT run in the oil city 50k since i have not done anything in a month, and really have no desire to. to run 31 miles on zero preparation sounds like a great way to get injured to me. mostly, my heart is really not in it. i wish i felt differently but as Parliament Funkadelic says, if it don't fit, don't force it.

we got the baby's room mostly put together. actually all i did was put together a crib and dresser, and the wife organized it. now all that is left is to put a baby in the room! we are both very excited and ready to get it on.

usual work bs. some things never change.

been listening mostly to Kyuss lately. that band rules. i finally got the record player back up and running this week (i don't even remember anymore why it got disconnected) and celebrated with the classic Misfits 7 inch "Three Hits from Hell."
