"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a lazy bastard



Michael ran a 15k trail race today and took 3rd place for the men! His running buddy (no, not me today) placed 2nd for the women. I felt really conspicuous hanging out with everyone afterwards given that I was wearing chords and a t-shirt and wasn't sweaty or disheveled in the least. There was also a 25k and 50k race going on, as well as a biking/running combo so it was really cool to see such an amazing array of athletes. I felt really guilty for not doing it! Then I heard how Michael slipped and fell down some stairs and I didn't feel quite so bad. Everyone was covered in dirt. Awesome.
