I walked the Levy Trail 5K this morning in 47:33 and went through three miles in 46:02.
Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
From the moment Keith recognized in Elsie Seale’s voice the tone of a matchmaker, even before she began her litany of tributes to Dr. Phil Dampier, he tried to figure a way out of this date, but it apparently was arranged and settled upon before Elsie called him the night before, minutes after he and Karen returned home from their first meal at Candy’s. “Trust me, don’t waste your time fightin with her over it,” Bill Seale said. “They ain’t no way you can win. You just gotta do whatever she says.”
Dr. Dampier was due in ten minutes, and Karen could feel Keith’s discomfort, which encouraged her, though she would not of course admit to Keith that she was jealous of the man on his way. “Tell me again,” she said. “You’re going out with one of the best looking men in St. Louis. He’s a cardiologist, which means he probably makes more money in a month than you and I do in a year, and Bill and Elsie both say he’s wonderful, not to mention that he sounded perfect on the phone. So tell me again. What are you so worried about?”
