Running in the dark

This place is a big circle, and off that circle is a running path and it was a nice, warm day so I jogged three miles in the twilight.

I was thinking, as I shuffled and panted, that sometimes you know when big things are happening. And sometimes you don’t know. And I found myself, right about here, wondering why that is. How do you sometimes know, and other times life springs that sort of thing upon you?

I was trying to come up with a good hill metaphor, but I always get breathless on the hills. That never surprises me.

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.

Leaving Savannah

I don’t know how you rank signs on stairs, but this is way up there, if you ask me:

We finally got the chance to dine at The Olde Pink House. Delicious and worth the wait:

The thing about Savannah is, no matter the time of year, things there are always in bloom:

Back home tonight, though I could stay away for some time. Oh, and I forgot this video about yesterday:

Hanging out at Forsyth Park

Forsyth Park is full of history. It was created in the 1840s, and was, in a way, an original part of the future plans of Savannah. French and American soldiers camped on the site during the Revolutionary War around bloody fighting in the town. The French started building siege trenches there and, then just two generations later, the Georgia home guard drilled on the park during the Civil War. The town’s Confederate monument is there.

This is where The Yankee I visit every time we come to Savannah. We have a tree. We got engaged there and took some of our wedding portraits there. It is a beautiful place and has a lot of history, and contemporary vitality, too.
