It's always amazing to me how deeply concerned politicians are about education right before elections, and then it's the first thing cut in a budget shortfall.

Don't forget to vote, we must get government cleaned out, no matter how good you think they are vote'm out. We need to get this thing workin' again, the whole World is depending on us.

Thank-you everyone for the birthday wishes. 58 now still running 5 miles a day and working out 5 times a week on the home gym. I refuse to give up without a fight. Not as fast as I used to be, but I can still do a sub 6 minute mile if I need to. Still thinking about another marathon, but that requires a 15...

A little rain and hot sun everyday, the little French wineberries are in heaven.

No bees this year, pollination is by wind only, very poor garden prospects. Have to get my paintbrush out and teach my cucumbers about sex.

Great run tonight except for the hurdle leg sticking out into lane one. Yes, I tripped on it and now hold the new record for the long face skid. Luckily no one was there to verify or laugh. Not too hot, but humidity makes for clean pores, good sweat.

Yes Criss I looove to run, keeps my jeans from shrinkin'.

Good run last night, track was cool and dry between rains, nobody else there. I have discovered I can cure sinus congestion and a headache if I push thru the first mile.

Back on the Fish and raw veggie only diet, somewhere between vegetarian and vegan. No dairy or eggs either, pretty much lo-carb lo-fat. This last Winter my food and running went completely to...

Good run tonight, not fast but a good clean sweat. Need to work my way back to 10K, but a reasonable 5K is OK for now. Trying to convince myself to run the Marine Corp Marathon this October, but these old bones doth protest. No joint or muscle problems just more than a half century of dirty air passing thru these lungs must have left...

Round trip to New Orleans was much too fast. Should have spent a few more days there, but it was too hot and humid. Had some pre-oil soft shell crab at Vera's in Slidell, the best in the World by far. Nieces wedding was at Houma Plantation House in Gonzales, LA, the restoration was true to period,but I'm sure glad they were able to hide...

First run in the rain this year, feels good not to burn up, but i think I like the sweat better, cleans everything out.

Planted the rest of the garden today, 4 rows of okra. Madam is Acadien and loves the stuff, I have no opinion one way or another being a rehabilitated Yankee. Hope to remain organic this year, but the bugs will dictate...

Watched Dr. Zhivago again last night, it was eerily familiar of right here and now.

I felt like I had to vote today in the local primary, but what a bunch of nothing for choices. Should I vote for the snake or the demon?

I think nobody wants to get blamed for this dead economy, so the only ones running are the chronically clueless. Village idiots, here's your chance at the spotlight. Didn't we just send one back to Texas?...
