Monday, monday.

Happy Monday, faithful readers.  I trust you had a good Mother’s Day weekend.  I cooked a brunch for my Mom yesterday and it was excellent – if I can sound egotistical for a moment.  Tops my sister’s flowers!  Then Sperm headed over to Shrek’s so I had the better part of the day to chill out.  I wanted to run but the wind was really bad so I stayed in.

Survivor came to a close last night with the surprise of Pavarti winning.  Missus and I were convenienced that Amanda had it sewn up but no, the jury voted 5-3 for Pav.  I guess she deserves it.  If I endured 39 days in rain and sun with nothing but salt water, seafood, and a coconut, I’d want the payoff too.  I read this morning she graduated from UGA and went to Sprayberry High School.  Wow.  It’s a small world.

I saw in the news that there was an earthquake in China killing 9,000.  Man.  Again, I say here I am bitching about $4 gallon gas and here are these people with literally nothing.  Persepctive, people.  It is all about perspective.

Did I mention the Missus gift last week?  She got me the box set for Space:1999 and I spent a good part of the weekend watching it. (Read more about the show here.)  The hair.  The polyester.  Genius.  I give Sperm credit.  He lasted 20 minutes of one episode with me.  His departing comment:  “Look at those man boobs.”  Generational changes I guess.  I mean c’mon…it was 1974 for goodness sake.  Plus the theme song kicks ass.

I ran Friday following a new route that takes me 6.3 miles (as measured by Google Earth).  It took me a little over 80 minutes to run/walk the course.  I was very pleased with that accomplishment.  Now, I wish i could run again but it may be Friday (!!!!) before I can do so fue to commitments across the week.  Maybe tomorrow — Missus will understand if I am a bit late.
