Midnight Snack

Imminent Demise

Saturday is the Baltimore Half Marathon.

That's 13.1 miles.

Pretty far, innit?

We'll see if I can do it. Less worried about my aerobic capacity and leg strength than the integrity of my hip flexors and knee parts. There are free massages at the end but I'm pretty sure I will not be walking for the rest of the weekend.

I'll keep you posted!

What's Good

Is having a roommate like Edith, who is the same H&M size as you and roughly the same shoe size, and you can buy and share clothes! Doesn't hurt that she can kill mice that get caught in sticky traps either. I tried to dispatch one with a blow of a broom handle to the nape of the neck and of course did not hit hard enough to kill it outright, though I'm pretty sure I broke its spine. Edith's put-it-in-a-bag-and-whack-it-on-the-ground strategy is more impersonal and effective.

Mozambique!

Work is sending me to Mozambique in December for our Africa Regional meeting. Apparently the beaches are beautiful (not that we will have time to enjoy them!) and the prawns are 8 inches. Oh yeah.
