largest memorial day event in the whirrledddd

over 53,000 participants took over the streets on monday for the 30th annual bolder boulder 10K. i was plagued with a hip injury the week previous to the event, but the time off seemed to allow the tweak in my right leg to mend as it didn't even peep during the race. 51minutes and change later, i rejoiced with my lovey-dovey and our pals in a sweaty pant before going out for a hearty meal.

fore!

in such a humane gesture, our friend gee-dub
decided to
quit playing golf because of the iraq occupation.

in such a saintly vow, i am not sure why we don't exonerate him for such a chaste act of nobility.

texas high school football

i never woulda thunk it, but we have been seriously geeking on the show, friday night lights. we finished season one in just over a week and a half.

the show is about a small texas town high school football team and all the excitement and drama that ensues for being a part of all three of those descriptors.

there is love, anger, insecurity, drug-use, violence, infidelity, youth naivety, leadership, regret, racism, teamwork, physical disabilities, perseverance, doubt, dysfunction, mental instability, drinking, stealing, cheating, bribery, and innocence.

the rich irony is that i have never really cared for texas or football--high school was alright and i thoroughly enjoy a good high school movie here and there--but both we're beside ourselves with the genuine enjoyment that has come from being entranced by this series. season 2 is on dvd and has quickly found itself to the front of our queue.

fermentation

we stopped in for a beer at a brewery recently and entertained ourselves by watching the kinesics of the fermentation process.

all the smartwool

i love smartwool socks. they bring me great joy. for the root of all happiness comes from the feet, in my humble opinion.
