Back at it

And you know what that means:

Saw this tonight:

Last month I went on about how the marketing for Star Wars has taken on a new life under the Disney brand. I believe I called George Lucas a marketing piker. But that doesn’t apply here. Star Wars cereal has been around for more than 30 years.

The word “ran” is generous

I ran five miles today. This was one of the sites I shuffled by:

It is a favorite fence and field. I see it a lot, on runs and rides. I haven’t seen it a lot lately, because of our travels, and because of a foot problem. And I’m not sure if the foot problem hasn’t also moved to the other foot as well. This probably means I have a shoe problem. So I am not wearing those shoes right now. But I got in five miles today.

In the air again, then on the road again

We left Connecticut today, having spent a precious few days with my in-laws after a precious few days with my family. I was keeping track of the miles and hours and nights under different ceilings, but I’ve sorta lost the numbers in my head. Our resting days are usually pretty busy.

Sitting there, on that tarmac, in those terrible airplane chairs, was actually a moment of stillness.

Tonight we are at home, unpacking, doing laundry and repacking. Tomorrow we are on the move again.

Road wearier

Woke up yesterday in north Alabama. Drove home to the plains yesterday. Re-set the luggage, slept in my own bed. Woke up this morning and drove to the A-T-L. Hopped a plane and … well, there’s a video:

Had dinner tonight in Connecticut. It was Chinese. Here’s my fortune:

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Think about it.

The nightlight in action

By popular demand … (watch the flame):

A new, seasonal, night light.
