Sweetheart Loop

I walked the Sweetheart Loop this morning in 43:58, with splits of 15:15, 14:30, and 14:13.

SENTENCE OF THE DAY from A Different Closet
After the apple pie, its crust sprinkled with pecan dust and buttered brown sugar, topped with slices of American cheese and vanilla ice cream, Green thought Lardner’s praise had been insufficient.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I think truth is an inner quality; it ain’t really transferable. Mine, yours, theirs, hell, they’s all different. I’ll tell you this. If you write about something, and someone who lived it tells you that you got it right, then you got lucky. I had a few people from those marches tell me I was close, but every time, every one of them, they all said, ‘But, here’s something you missed,’ or, ‘That was good, but you left this out.’ One guy said, ‘We wasn’t all marchin for freedom. I didn’t have anything else to do, and they was all them good lookin girls.’ I don’t think I put that in there anywhere. You could say I missed the truth, or skipped it, and, hell, they still gave me the goddam Pulitzer. Probably wouldn’t of got it if I’d of put god’s own truth in there about some guy marchin for pussy.”
—Bill Seale, in a converation with Bobby Green, from A Different Closet.
