I ran 7 miles in the gully today with my favorite training partners, the Alta XC team.

Also, my favorite band ever, The Replacements, were inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. And without ever producing a single hit.

These guys taught me that you could be a generally successful person while at the same time lacking ambition in the conventional sense.

So, a good day.

A good day but no hot tub?

I accidentally deleted your voice mail... Meeting up there for a 9am start tomorrow? I thought that's what you said, but can't remember. Getting old.

Here comes Dick. He's wearing a skirt.

Here comes Jane and she's sporting a chain.

Paul Westerberg is a genius.

Androgynous right?

Good to know there are some mats fans on the blog.

Yep, you can't go wrong with the replacements. And conventional ambition is way overrated (at least that's what I tell myself when I think about some of my more eccentric professional moves!).

Maybe you could get a grant to put treadmills in your classroom. Then you could teach history while the students are running. I think this could really catch on.
