No better time than now.
I’m a runner. Not a serious runner. Not a good runner. Just a runner. I’ve ran two marathons and both times after each marathon I took a long break. Partly to rest but mainly, well I’m not sure why. Maybe to enjoy life a little, you know? Have a couple of beers, some wings and pizza. And each time I wait for that magical moment or special time in life to start training again.
After running the Calgary Marathon in late May, I said I would start training again in July after my 50th birthday. Well that didn’t happen. At my party I said that I would start training the following week. Well that didn’t happen either. Then I said I would start at the beginning of August. Guess what? Same thing.
So then I said that I would celebrate 50 for a month and resume running. Nope. The next start date was the beginning of September and when the beginning of September came and went I said after the football draft. Are you starting to see the pattern yet?
The good news is that I’m now ready. To quote the Dixie Chicks I am Ready to Run. And tomorrow September 28 will be the day. I’m choosing that date because my mom would have been 89 tomorrow. So thanks mom. And Happy Birthday.

Birthday #49
Thanks to each and everyone of you from near and far who took the time today to make me smile with your messages, emails, and texts. I can't forget the four people who wished me a Happy Birthday via their voice; my 3 beautiful girls and my physiotherapist Mohammad. And he only knew because I asked if making me cry was a nice thing to do to a guy on his birthday. After a wonderful dinner of spaghetti and homemade meatballs, (my first time making them ever, sad as that is to say.) I did however, ace the test as the girls ate them. Thanks to big brother Laurie-Billy for the ground beef! Watching the Phillies beat the Pirates was great dessert. So was the Haagen Daas ice cream. Next up was a wonderful 15 minute ice bath for my foot, just so I can get up and run in a 10k race tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Eskimos game with Ryley, and I'm looking forward to my first game in a decade and Ryley's first ever. Good night to all, and all the best to the rest of my 40's!!

Not sure why I'm getting them, but can anyone who reads French please tell me how to unsubscribe from the French Just For Laughs email propaganda machine? It's driving me batty!!

Social Media
As much as I love it, it sometimes drives me crazy. Can't tell you how many times I've had to defend myself over comments made in general about nothing in particular. I need a box that says, "As much as you feel the need to comment, don't." I didn't ask for your opinion. If I did, I would have worded my sentence differently. I'm a high school graduate, I know how to do that.

You have no idea how happy I am knowing that I wasn't the DJ for this wedding. At first I thought this was a goof. Nope. I've seen brides come down the aisle to all kinds of music. I've never seen one "walk" down the aisle to this. Until today.

I make a living from Fantasy Football on the Internet. But seeing these 2 still means the start of the season for me.

Remember the days when you twisted an apple stem to see what letter your future bride's name would start with? I always felt sorry for Wanda and Vicky. That being said, Edith, today is your lucky day!! #fivetwists
