"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.

Here we go again

"Taj Mahal" by Sam Roberts is awesome. Love the piano. Not in bed but should be. Have to be up at 7am tomorrow (I was actually pushing to leave by seven, but Michael talked me out of it by feeding me pulled pork).
My old Running Room leader posted some new photos today. They run out of the RR at 4th and Alma and did the two bridges today: a major run and huge accomplishment. I slept until noon. Looking at the pics I felt no small amount of nostalgia; recognized a few people. There is no possible way I could have run today given the pain quotient, but not running since Thursday is making me goddamn batty and the fact that I had a most unhealthy dinner is agitating.
I'm running like hell in Penticton. The Trans Canada trail goes through there and there is a fantastic trail that goes through people's backyards and farms and heads up towards the wineries that I will absolutely be doing that (have already packed my Sauconys, two pairs of shorts and shirts - one of which is emblazoned with our clinic logo). This will be the first vacation that I've taken where I've packed a fuel belt. Man, times have changed! The drop in fee at the good gym in Penticton is like $8, but I don't care: I'm going there once while I'm up. Have you seen my arms? They're effing pathetic. I can't even do boy push ups and that chaps my ass.
Must go to bed. I made the most awesome playlist on iTunes though, and it's hard to log off. A little Morcheeba, some Dido, Sam Roberts, Joni... sigh.
