It’s funny the things you remember…
Many times while driving, I recall one of the questions I got wrong on a quiz in my high school driver training class:
Q: What is a signal light that has been green for a long time called?
A: A stale green light
ZOOM, ZOOM!

I could’ve sworn I heard someone yell “Run Forrest, Run!” on my morning run today. I looked around – no one. Must have been the voices in my head…

I was looking out the window of my Father-In-Law’s hospital room this afternoon and think I found the “problem patient” check out door…

A friend on Facebook just posted:
“Anyone else look at senior citizens and wonder what trials
they’ve gone through, what struggles they’ve endured?”
A person on Twitter recently tweeted:
“Behind every sweet smile there is a bitter sadness
that no one can ever see and feel.”
I often think something similar as I see people through my day:
“What’s going on in your life? Are you happy, hurting, sad, mad, …?
What’s the real story?”
Maybe people think the same thing about me…
I guess today rates a reflective and contemplative post.
On a lighter note, I did have a great run this morning!
Training Journal – 3/21/12:
- Current plan: 10-Miler Training
- Today’s session: 5 mile easy run @ 10:10
- Comments: 5.27 @ 9:40. Pacing is off plan – a la that Sammy Hagar song “I Can’t Drive 55”
So my wife and I saw The Descendants a few weeks ago and I subsequently bought the soundtrack. The whole album is great, but I find myself humming, even whistling the final track – Ka Mele O Ku’u Pu’uwai – constantly!
The video below isn’t the version on the soundtrack – that one is by Sol Hoopii‘s Novelty Trio. It’s close, though it doesn’t seem to have the memorable effect that Sol Hoopii’s does. Enjoy!
