What's that Smell?

I just went to the bathroom and was reminded that I had asparagus for dinner.

That's Not Appropriate

Once upon a time I was a teacher. Okay, maybe "teacher" isn't the right word to describe what I did. Once upon a time I sat in a classroom filled with 6th graders and collected a paycheck.

There was a young lady in the class who had a tendency to complain. She complained about me, her classmates, the school, the desk, the weather, the trade-imbalance with China (maybe not that one), and just about everything else.

One day I was trying to explain the lesson to her when a boy in the classroom said, "You have to speak her language - woof, woof, woof!"

I had to try very hard not to laugh.

Running - My Occasional Mistress

I have always enjoyed running. At least I enjoy it once I motivate myself to get outside and do it. I was doing really well for a while and then the job changed. And I found excuses not to do it at home - there's a soccer game on TV, it's too cold (yeah, right), my feet hurt, blah blah blah.

I get to work about an hour early. But it's not enough time to get up to the locker room, change, go back outside, run, come back inside, shower, and get dressed for work. Excuses.

And then a thought hit me. I could drive to work in my running gear and then I would have plenty of time to go for a run. Genius, huh?

So that is what I did on Friday. I ran for a little over three miles and felt good. But there was a problem.

I left my change of underwear at home.

Fortunately I had a couple of extra pair in my locker. Crisis averted. I won't make that mistake again.

I'm getting motivated again. I renewed my goal to run a marathon before I turn 30. Okay, before I turn 40.
