No particular reason. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t been posting: no particular reason.
I’ve been running a lot. I want to start running even more — get these ol’ legs in shape for a marathon. I went running on Saturday with Nina at the PG&E Trail at Rancho, and I did loads better than I did last time. For instance: there was no bee stinging me in the head this time. Yay, team. All that climbing really had an impact on my legs, though: yowza. Keep doing the PG&E Trail, and I’m going to have the best butt in Santa Clara County.
Sophia has been sick. For a couple of months now she’s been complaining of stomach pains. But there are no other symptoms, like vomiting or, er, anything else, and she’s not using it to get out of anything, except possibly eating dinner, and that’s SOP anyhow. She gets up, groans, goes to school.
Darin’s car went in for a tune-up. They found a few things wrong with it. Guess how much it cost. No, more. No, more than that. Seriously. My first reaction was: “We have to buy a new car, right?” Right after our Christmas purchase of a new TV (a flat-screen LCD thing). Augh.
The weather has been beautiful. I realize everyone in the Northeast wishes I would crawl into a hole and shut up right about now, but it’s been fantastic here the past few days: mid-70s (or higher), sunny, mild. I’ve taken the kids to the park because these were clearly park days. In February. And you wonder why I love living in California?
And now I see Daryl has flung a meme my way. Off to work on a second post!
