Nice, easy morning run. 11.25 miles mostly around Sugarhouse Park. 

Every once in a while I have an "only in Utah moment" that surprises me even after eleven years here. Today I went to this donut shop on 114th South on my way to work because I promised a class donuts because of something good they did. Anyway, this so-called donut shop did not sell coffee. Has anyone heard of a donut shop without coffee?

Fortunately there is a Beans n Brews right next door.

I still love it here though.

Donut shop without coffee?!?

Please tell Abby that Frank is back home and alive and well. I spent 15 minutes trying to capture her this morning in a towel so I could force her medications down her throat which I get to do twice a day for the next 10 days. Fun! Want a bird?

That does seem odd, even for Utah.

If I didn't know better I'd think you lived in ut county, nothing surprises in ut county anymore...

You are a nice teacher and now I'm craving a donut!
