7/26/06: 5 Mile Run: Neighborhood

An early morning run during which I listened to the latest Daily Source Code. There is a contest sponsored by Adam wherein the winner gets a video iPod. This was inspired by a site set up to help a guy named Troy get an iPod. My entry is TheiPodThatLaunched1000Shows.com. I think it is creative, but easy for me to say of myself, eh?

This was a good run. I passed an older guy running the opposite direction. And, he had such a pleasant smile and demeanor about him that it just made me feel cheery. In fact, on the second pass he asked "did you see that beautiful rainbow?". I had seen it, but his pointing it out so bluntly and happily was just joy spreading. I think it is cool when we adults can behave just a little bit like children who just met on the playground and recognize a kindred spirit of "do you want to play?".

We lost our upstairs air conditioner this week and finally worked up the nerve to call the HVAC guys to come fix it. They convinced us to replace it. Man, what an expensive fix/upgrade. But, it was necessary.
