cool things

Cool things about today:

1.  I had an AWESOME 6 mile run.  It felt like I was flying ~ it really took me 50 minutes, so I wasn't really flying, but it felt so good.  It's runs like today's that make me love running.  And I ran over I-90 twice.  For some reason I love to run over the interstate.  There's no real reason for why ~ I just think it's pretty cool to see all those cars and trucks going all those places that they go while I just run on.  It makes me feel like a little piece in this great big world and it's rather calming. 

2.  Dad finished his taxes and I took the K-1 to the accountant who thinks I may actually be getting a refund (or at least breaking even).

3.  We went to Ledgemont to see Katie pitch softball.  Katie rocks.  (I kinda really like that kid) When she bats she first turns around to see the signs from her third base coach.  Then she bats; if she swings and misses she turns back around and gives him a look like it was his fault.  Priceless.

4.  On our way to Thompson/Ledgemont we were stopped by a train on Dayton Road.  (not usually cool)  There was an engine and then there was an actual caboose and then there was the rest of the train.  It was even a little red caboose.  I wish I could have gotten my camera out in time.  I haven't seen a caboose in many, many, many years.  But today I did.

5.  Watching the Cavs last night on tv I heard Austin Carr say the funniest thing I've ever heard a sports color man say.  The ball was stripped from a Cavs player and then the Bulls player couldn't get control and it went through the hands of 5 or 6 guys all reaching and diving and trying to get the basketball.  Austin Carr says, "Someone hit it with a stick and kill it."  I'm still laughing about it today so I can consider it a cool thing about today.
