An explanation for my lack of interest in watching the football....

I think much of the stress in the world can be traced to not budgeting enough time for things to go screwy.
For some silly reason I scheduled a conference call at 8 AM the day I was moving offices. Normally I reserve bad choices in the area of travel (6:00 AM flight out of San Jose?)
So I get into toiling and I cannot find 1) my headset 2) my dock station 3) my keyboard and I cannot get the Internet to work. So I duck into a conference room and luckily get it to work so I was able to have the web conference without an issue.

All of my stuff was in some other cube. There is a strong chance that my hand writing had something to do with the diversion.

We went to Birks for a going away lunch. We talked about sports and I think my disinterest in watching sports comes from living away from the DC area. If the weather was crummy and I had one of my droogs having chicken wings and a large television set maybe I would don a Heath Shuler Jersey and watch the game. If I lived in Green Bay I would watch the games on Television and I would end up losing an opposite of fred that would be transplanted to someone whose opposite of fred got bitten off by a Lion in India.

After toiling I went to the Sawyer Camp trail and I ran 5 miles at a 10:00 minute mile pace. I have a seven mile race on Sunday. The last time I have run so much it was 1988 and I had a 10 year old red car. I was running at a faster pace. I think of George Foreman coming back in 1988 at the unheard age of 38. Maybe I should give George a call.

(Note to readers, I did not drive from my boyhood home with the sticker in the window to Manchester, NH but I am using that to show far I ran this year. I have never been to New Hampshire)
