No interesting stories to tell today.
But I am getting toward the end of Herodotus, and that's OK. Much as I have enjoyed it, 509 pages of ancient kings and their seemingly petty inducements to war is about enough for now.

I feel the need for a little Wodehouse.

I have finished my tour of Dr. Bernstein's diet for 2008. I once again see every yummy carbohydrate as my enemy. This is how it must be.

Running yesterday was miserable. Big fat wet snowflakes splatting into my eyes, and frozen gloppy stuff on the ground so my feet were frozen and soaked. And a brisk wind from the arctic blocking my progress on my outbound northerly route. Summer is indeed over.

Jess is reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves, and I am not there yet. Maybe we have a theme going here.....I am so far always trying to catch up to my reading partner.

Another theme is that there's a whole lot of life that makes reading a challenge. And yesterday, while in a waiting room with two of the more quiet and well behaved of my offspring, I wasted the book reading time by reading the comics from the Globe and Mail. And I enjoyed my quiet well behaved offspring. Anybody want to guess which two they were?
