Life: November 2003 Archives
A lot to be thankful for today. My wife. Comfort. Good health. Friends. Clark who posted his first blog! I'm thankful I ran the Chesterfield Turkey Trot this morning, finishing 21st in my age group and 680 overall. I'm thankful I like food because right now the house smells wonderful. We made a pecan pie last night and at this moment Jessie is making a key lime pie, using freshly squeezed lime juice. I'm thankful Georgia Tech beat UConn last night, once again proving a point that I'm always trying to make with Jack Spitzer, my brother in law, that the ACC is all that matters in college basketball.
I'm thankful I run, not just physically in races, but through life, at times finishing well, over times struggling, then those times doubting I'll ever finish. I like those times of doubt. They stretch the soul, enabling all the good finishes.
I missed survivor tonight because an old friend was here in St. Louis and we all went out for dinner, then came back to the house for a drink. It's great seeing old friends and not worrying that they will disturb routines. Old friends can instead bring back old routines. Nonetheless, I still wanted to know who was voted out of Survivor, and now I'm sad to read Rupert was voted out. The news isn't on the CBS site, yet. I found the news instead on a rambling Survivor stie, which I trust is accurate. I guess I'll learn the details tomorrow morning at work.
