• Twice

    What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

    Twice while running

    I have found fully endorsed checks. One was for over seven thousand dollars, the other for 626.00 dollars

    I jumped through hoops to return it to the owners. I keep the memory of how non plussed each person was.

    It was still worth it.

  • Off Circumstance

    Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

    I was sitting in a cocktail bar waiting for a flight out of Minneapolis. I had just run a marathon the Day before. My date was there for the party. So I was tired and high on endorphins.

    And in walks the Smothers Brothers. I never knew much about them when they sauntered into the bar. They commanded the room. We had a beer together and told a few jokes. They were rather fun for those thirty minutes.

    I didn’t know they were famous until my date told me so. In retrospect I can see why they were famous.

  • The Question

    What was your favorite subject in school?

    What would your favorite subject be now? I would love them all except for Greek and Roman mythology.

    I loved any class where we read a lot. if I were to be honest, I wouldn’t know. I believe it was Literature. I sat next to this girl who was a tremendous artist. I always wanted to make art such as she did.

    She was someone I was glad to have met.

    Geometry was also fascinating as it was solving a lot of puzzles,

    But there are many schools and schools of thought. I particularly liked my Psychology classes as an undergrad. As a grad student they were all so fun.

    They had to be as I paid every single penny for the privilege of going to college and grad school.

  • And I feel fine.

    Do you need time, alone?

    Days are measured by the sun.

    Months by the moon

    Years by the rings on the trees.

    In Latin America being on time is a foreign concept.

    I woke up this morning, my clock told me so.

    If days were 30 hours long I would be much younger.

    And die at a very young age.

    But time, I need that time, alone.

    Time marches on, with our without me.

    Namaste
