Mr McGee, your newspaper is only interested in reporting murder, rape, horoscopes, UFO’s and Farrah Fawcett. I don’t happen to fit into any of those catagories and I don’t wish to be interviewed.

I don’t like peas, & I’m glad I don’t like them, ’cause if I liked them I would eat them & I hate them.

Notes

Watched part of Celluloid Closet hosted by Lily Tomlin.

Ran on an 8am bowl of oatmeal. Should've throw some PB in there, b/c I was getting hungry by the time my warm-up was over.

Scheduled for 40, but already have an extra day in the mix this week, due to laziness Sunday and the Monday make-up day that rocked the CASbah.

Drinking 8oz/Gatorade b/c I ran fast, I'm sweaty, hot, and ever so salty.

Proud of myself! :0)
