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.

Thanks, Ziggy

I had a perfectly good late 80s, early 90s exposure to David Bowie. He was long since a thing, of course, and far beyond anything I could understand then, or maybe even now. That was part of the art. He was a kind … sort … a type of art of his own. I like to think that he was trying to tell us we all were.

It seems difficult to imagine listening to his duets just now.

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:
