Tuning Out and In

• Ever since I returned my cable hardware to Time Warner and quit television, there have been no "To Do" lists here . . . just a whole lot of doing.
• My Nike+ is strongly suggesting that it's time for a new pair of running shoes.  Even though I just got them in March, I've put over 50 miles on them.  I wonder if they know of an athletic apparel company that could suggest where I might find a new pair.  Hmmmm.  Although I'm fairly certain I'm going with New Balance next.

Karen,

Thank you for contacting New Balance!

• I turned in my fastest single kilometer while training today.  Whoop whoop.  It's kind of a really nice kick ass thing.  But of course, I observed a ship coming in with at least 20 containers on it.  Why MF, I ask you why?  They're filled with crap.  I just know it.  And the ship just came walking across the waters that got so angry that they tried to eat Brooklyn, twice, in two years.
• JL, thank you for being such a faithful follower.  I truly hope that nursing school is embracing, encouraging, passing on and celebrating your plant based diet.  The bullet points are for you.
