I got a late morning start on my run here in the Royal City. While the kids played at the playground with Sarah and Jill, I ran from the petting zoo at Beacon Hill park along Dallas Rd. I stuck to the water for a one hour run, running for 30 minutes seeing beautiful vista's and gorgeous homes worth millions. "What it must be like to be rich?" I was thinking, which led me inevitably to the quote from
Fitzgerald:
"The rich are different from you and me".
Oh well, it's nice to be rich in ways not pertaining to lucre. I guess. I'd rather have both though, money and happiness. I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
The run was in a bit of mist with a very slight rain at times. The run invigorated me, and seemed to wash away my early century cynicism. I finished the run a happy man in a cynical age.

I must have just missed you. Ran from the Magnolia Hotel along Dallas to the Cemetery and back on Friday afternoon. Out at UVic campus on Saturday - attending a rather questionable coaching symposium. It is a fun city to run in on occasion, but I am glad not to live there. Hope that you had a good weekend!
By the way, regarding your desire to resemble your sister... I don't think that you would look good in a dress.
Too bad I missed you for that run. I'd have enjoyed that.
As for the dress comment, I knew there would be a danger that my comment would get a response like that........and it did!
