38th Street Loop

It's 45 degrees, dark gray, windy, with an intermittent drizzle. I walked the 38th Street Loop in 30:21.

Early this afternoon, Mom and I walked the 1.1-mile Lakewood Lake No. 3 Loop in 19:44, thus trimming our PR by sixteen seconds.

SENTENCE OF THE DAY from A Different Closet
He pulled in, parked, and noticed his favorite clerk, the tall skinny kid...shit...oh yeah, Seth, behind a cash register, and it occured to him as he pushed through the door that this is what he needed, a breath of regular air with Seth, the All-American clerk, no cologne, no freshly-ground coffee, no date nut cake, no gay kingpins, just the damp floor of this mini-mart mopped with week-old, cold brown water, with cold beer waiting on the other side.
