I went for a relaxing run today. I dropped my keys. I found them. Not relaxing! Look at my heart rate and you see; I discovered my keys were lost about 16 minute mark. I found the keys about 33 minute mark. Maximum Heart rate = 220 minus age 220 - 60 = 160 Not relaxing!

Retired middle school teacher here. I was running on the beach and I heard my name. It was a former student walking with fiance. He introduced himself and partner. He said he liked me because held standards when other teachers were flexible. Please write a teacher! Tell 'em what you remember.

Today was a first. I liked a post and it rolled the "odometer" from 999 to 1k. Big!

Some people hear the mowers, leaf blowers and such and think of the noise. I hear jobs. I hear people feeding their family. (And, bonus, since I am retired, it's someone else working! )

University of Kansas. Thanks Years ago the leaders of the k-12 schools voted to allow creation as a science. KU stated, go ahead but anyone who uses this as their science will not be admitted to KU. The high schools backed down. I wrote to KU. They replied. KU will stand like Harvard. Thanks

Nevada Smith is a great movie starring Steve McQueen. He sneaks into the room of a hotel. I wish my windows could open as well as that window.

Eastern time zone. It's pi day. 😋

Ran 4 1/2 miles this morning and it felt great. Walking home from the doughnut shop my knee started to hurt. I blame the vegetables I ate yesterday.

Not spending money in long Beach California. Watching high clouds and low clouds pass overhead

I have fountain outside my bedroom window. My neighbor's sprinklers go on and spray my yard. It wakes me to the (false) sounds of a gentle rain and stream. (My happy thought/emotion for the day)

I read Moby Dick again. I keep cheering for Ahab. Some day, the madness will win.

I'm reading an article about sobriety. It kinda makes me want a beer. (Good writing brings the idea of the beer. )

During the day, I can only nap on my back. At night, I can only sleep on my belly.

Ten second rule. When something falls on the ground, if you pick it up within 10 seconds, it's still good. As I get older, I need more time. Is there a graded scale as we age?
