Arthur Miller said, “The word now is like a bomb thrown through the window, and it ticks.” And, once in a while, there is an example, for better or worse, right upon us.
Remember when I wrote last week, asking everyone to mail a card to a man in Ohio with lung cancer, at the request [...]
I cross-trained three days last week, two running workouts. So, I logged just under seven miles yesterday. The downside was that It was windy so I walked; I can’t stand running in cold wind.
