Ceci n’est pas une pipe

What if everything I know is illusion?

Nothing more substantive than images on a television screen?

The things I worry about are empty nothings?

The things I hold dear are hollow promises?

What if the illusion is me?

Then so is my worry and so are my loves.

And the empty hollow nothing is

unworthy of self indulgent

100 Mile Check In

As of today, I’ve run 100 miles since I started keeping track on July 7, 2008.  That’s 5k five days a week.  That’s 165k today, or 102.52 miles.  I ran my 5k this morning in 38 minutes and 43 seconds.  That’s neither my slowest nor my fastest, but about average.  I weigh 226.6 lbs.  I’m writing this because I wonder what all these statistics were one year ago to see how much I’ve progressed, but at least now next year (or in 3 months or whatever) I can know.

Water Balloon Fight to the Death

We just got finished expending 2200 water balloons, filled over the last 3 days. It was, again, positively glorious.
