Walked to the park to do exercises. Not much else for the day. Two weeks of no sweets - better energy, lost a pound or two, so hope to keep the streak alive.

Only thing I did today was walk to the library. It snowed here before it did in Chicago, SO NOT RIGHT! :)

Rainy and gray, so stayed in all day. Jammed blues guitar to the original 1960's Fleetwood Mac - sweet!

3 mile run on Amazon/Rexius, had the energy to do 5, but decided on 3. During winter, less is more.

Stayed indoors pondering questions of a philosophical nature. Grabbed An American Tragedy by Dreiser off the shelf, before beginning I checked to see what Wickipedia had to say about it. Ended up at the wicki pages of the murder trial the story was based on, which led to an article in the NY Times from 1906 which discussed the case with printed excerpts of the love letters.

I can't decide if its better to be steeped in an illusion proven by fact, or remain empty and live from the gut.
