I went out on a first (and last) date once with a cop. It was an online thing, and based on his picture, I wasn’t all that enthused. But I went…and then interacting with him face to face, I was even less enthused.

Summertime…and I’m not blogging much these days. The kids are in camp mode this week, which means I’m in chaffeur mode. I’m also in de-cluttering mode and making real progress.

Not all at once, though. The first mile, I ran in 11:02. The second, 10:35. The third, 10:29. In between, I stretched, got water, and then got right back on the treadmill.
Don is a beast. If you don’t know who Don is, or what my original mile time was, catch […]
…sounds like a recipe for…well, Jerome White, Jr. This native of Pittsburgh’s North Side is doing his thing in Japan.
“A Far Cry from Home”
I read with a mixture of amusement and curiousity until these paragraphs:
He was dressed in his usual hip-hop garb, but didn’t attempt a single dance step. Instead, with quiet sincerity […]

Dear Mini-Me,
The tulips, delivered to my front door yesterday, were indeed wonderful. Bright, fresh, and lovely.
The mini mylar balloon was cute.
