The Game

So there’s this game we play.
We go in the backyard.
She wanders around the yard.
I get the pooper-scooper.
She wanders around the yard.
I pick up poop.
She wanders around the yard.
I go around the corner to dump the poop and put the pooper-scooper away.
She wanders around the yard. There’s just one more…and I get that “Whah?” look.

It even looks like she’s shrugging…

Three “Oh My”s

February 13, 2013 — Leave a comment

Oh My #1: The other day, I bought Kilian Jornet’s film, A Fine Line, and have watched it once. The story, amazing scenery, and subtitles – all combined – make it too much to process in one viewing, so I will watch again…and probably again and again. One thing that made me smile was Jornet’s shoe inventory – when compared to my meager, six-pair inventory.  NOTE: In addition to the 13 on the shelf and the pair he’s putting on, there are about six pair on the floor:

Oh My #2: I’m a runner nerd. I’ve built some spreadsheets for tracking monthly and annual stats, shoe mileage, and pacing, but they are pretty basic and unsophisticated. I stumbled on the mother-of-all-pacing-spreadsheets yesterday (at least to my knowledge), bought the Big Sur Marathon sheet, and am on “modeling” overload! Well worth the $5.75!

Oh My #3: This Beck video was posted on gizmodo.com the other day. wow. It’s best experienced with headphones on…trust me.
