Thing 23.....appreciating the finish...briefly...

Meeting of the Racers...by John Mottern, c1989.


So one of the best things about starting a project, race (even animal racers), or to-do list, is *to finish*.

Until there is another project, race, or to-do list (which is pretty much instantaneous, but work with me here.....)

The 23 Things, for me, is officially complete. I'm not sure if anyone will continue to follow my blog (oh yes, that will remain at the same URL. I am hooked on this blogging phenom) tho' there will likely be a modified title coming soon....

I've learned 143% more than I thought I would, and am very glad that I started this, kept with it, and finished it as well. Is there a free t-shirt? Because any runner will tell you....it's all about the free t-shirt at the end of a race, esp if it's a high quality wicking shirt ;) and believe me, this 23 Things, learning/brain wise, definitely was at least a 5K race. That happened to take 2 months to complete, and every Thing worked towards my goal of continual life long learning....

okay Top Chef is ending. Must see who gets to pack up their knives tonight....and, just to tie it all together, I love that it's the BACON that won it for the challenger. love thy bacon! until the next post, peace ~jd

for the love of bacon....or green eggs & ham

it's Sunday morning March 2nd, 2008....Which means it is Dr. Seuss's birthday! That genius of a man who rhymed like no other , had a brilliant imagination and has helped teach millions of kids to read. I sincerely hope he remains a classic in kids literature for another 104 years :)

Sunday morning also means coffee, newspaper time, and a good ol breakfast....with bacon. at least in my ideal lil world...i would eat it in a box, i would eat it with a fox, i would eat it here or there, i would eat bacon anywhere.....

which reminded me of this bit that a friend emailed a while back. Jim Gaffigan

time to hit the road for a 7 mile LSD run....training season is here....Things 8-10 are this weeks goals....peace, ~jd
