Book: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time"

And then I looked at the front of the envelope and I saw there was a postmark and there was a date on the postmark and it was quite difficult to read, but it said "London, 16.10.97 NW2.

Which meant that the letter was poasted on the 16th October 1997, which was 18 months after Mother had died.

And then the door of my bedroom opened and Father said, 'What are you doing?'

I tag Laurie, Sarah, Amy, Tom and Justin (but I don't know if they blog, so they can send me theirs by e-mail and I'll publish, if they'd like.

I love living in Minnesota

Short subject today. We were talking at our running club workout this morning about how we all know so many people who are runners.

We weren't talking about all of our running club friends. We were talking about all the people you meet at work, parties, and other life events who run. As we chatted, we were all surprised that we had all thought the same thing; a lot of people do this -- more than you'd think.

But I'm guessing its a Minnesota thing for there to be so many "surprise" runners in our collective encounters.

I'm also glad to live in Minnesota because there are so many beautiful places to run. This was my first Minnehaha Creek run. It was so pretty and peaceful. So, thanks, all you green-space warriors of days gone by. We're very lucky to have what we have.

Over and out.
