Light up the coals
We grilled. I invited you online. (No, you; not you.) Unfortunately you could not make it. This might have been my fault as the invite was sort of a last-minute thing.

Probably for the best. Those burgers were delicious. The Yankee put some crazy new seasoning in them. I think she called it pep … pep-per … or something like that. I didn’t really want to share.
Hope you’re having a lovely Labor Day weekend.

Running five on the fifth
There was a concern in my mind, as I contemplated every American metaphor for a road, that I might eventually come to enjoy running. I’ll never be good at it. I might one day be comfortable doing it, though. And that made me uncomfortable. I know how this works. If I come to like it, I’ll want to do more of it. More running.
I realized this about four miles into a five mile run that didn’t hurt at all. I never seemed especially out of breath. It didn’t seem strenuous.

Not sure what metaphor goes with that, though.
I also decided there’s going to be less stuff here on weekends. We’ll all try to maintain our composure, I’m sure.
