I am soooo glad I am married.

More mundane musings

Running:

Saturday

10 miles- treadmill, 1:30-ish. My gym has a 30 minute limit on CV equipment. I stayed on for 1:30. I’m bad. I know it. That was a very boring 10 miles.

Sunday:

5 miles in 54:31 (HR avg 142). 20 minutes in the Sauna.

No kid deserves that

While running, I was listening to CNN present a piece on a town in the mountains of Pakistan that was devastated by an earthquake. The people that live there have not left, due to their poverty and fears of their meager land being taken from them if they do not stay. It happens to be the middle of winter, with no heat and barely any shelter. That’s if you call a small piece of tarp that is falling over from the weight of several inches of snow. Everyone there is suffering with little aid. Children don’t have enough to eat. They are cold. They are sick. There is no medicine for their illness. Mnay have died. It physically makes me hurt to see that. As a parent, the thought of seeing your child hurting or dying with no power to do anything makes me ill. I went through a recent thing with Nik (coffee burn0 that wouldn’t even share the same universe with the suffering these people experience. I feel hypocritical, since this is going on in many places and NOW I’m outraged b/c it was on CNN? Money doesn’t seem enough. Can we all agree that no matter what politics are in play, that these children should have a chance at a better life?

I want a plasma. No Sir, you want a LCD.

I was set to buy a TV today. Plasma. Went to ABT Electronics. This is where I want to go to when I die. They convinced me that LCD is the way to go. Now I have to go back to doing research.

I like being married a lot more than being single. I’m only 24 hours into my bachelor weekend. It’s boring. It’s nice for a short while, but if this was my life 24/7. No Thank you. Saturday night: sitting in a smoky bar with very nice people, but waking up smelling of smoke, dry burning eyes, sore throat. I’m glad I don’t do that much anymore.
