Fennel

No running, as planned. I'm about 90% so I'm a go for Sunday's 12 miler with Tapir friends.

Parent-Teacher Conference- 30 minutes of overly positive comments about our son. We live in an age of no one losing or winning. No one is below average. The average is superior. The thing is I bet there are parents cause a lot of trouble if their kids are criticized. The world is a hard place. Might as well get used to the fact that everyone can't win. I guess they can learn that when they are 3 or 4.

I went to Whole Foods and bought a (an) fennel. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I thought it was about time I bought some. I'm 35, soon to be 36 and have never cooked with fennel.

I then went to Moosejaw to check out things I do not need. I found 2 things that will be handy during my crewing of Badwater. One is for my daily coffee fix (This and this) and the second is in case I need to cut some rope or kill a snake.
