RACING THE CLOCK

Algernon and I are going running at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. I have been running at night. But no more. When I met Algernon, I knew he would be the catalyst for changing my exercise routine. Even before he happily told me that he liked to run, I just knew it would happen. And now it has. I've put it off for as long as possible. But it's coming tomorrow morning. At least it will get me up in time to eat breakfast...AND I'm sure I'll be starving after running 5 miles. I wonder how different it will be. I've known all along that I needed to switch from evening to before-breakfast running. It just took a friend to push me in the right direction. I'll have to thank Algernon by being on time in the morning, and by keeping a good attitude. What difficult change would you have the courage to make if you had a buddy to help you in the right direction?

DING DONG THE UNIFORM IS DEAD

Wicked, dirty, bad work uniform! Shame! Shame on you for supressing my ability to express myself creatively and metaphorically through my fashion choices. But now you are gone, so HA HA HA. In case you didn't recognize it, that was the last laugh. I just took it for a spin around the block. Good bye, work uniform. I will not miss you. Will you miss me?
