a regular Wednesday


(Grace’s latest art, inspired by Monet’s Bridge at Giverny … framed for someone special!)

Ran today, very painful after a week off due to the yuck cold. The gods were shuffling my ipod, though, because every song definitely played to where my head already was. A few excerpts below. Make fun of the dreck I run to, go ahead – admittedly it’s a little slow on the bpm front for running … perhaps that’s why I ran at a slow for me 8:05/mile.
Listened to John Denver (“lying beside you, the greatest peace I’ve ever known“), the Indigo Girls (“let it be me“), Rent (“how do you measure a life?”), Eddie Vedder (“I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me”), Alicia Keyes (“a life ain’t perfect if you don’t know what the struggle’s for … my soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned”).

Let’s see what else happened today. A trip to Shreve’s to get an estimate for replacing my diamond stud. Sending the porcelain crocodile Grace made for Grandma and Grandpa as a thank you for her Florida trip to them. Baking some zucchini muffins for the kids with an almost-gone zucchini. Washing lettuce. Picking up Grace’s framed art (above). Wrapping a 3 year old birthday present for this weekend. Reading the CES auction catalog.
