m.i.a.

no, i am not dead. we didn't have the internets for a while. and i do not mean just at our house, but in the entire neighborhood. our house has had some technical glitches over the past few months, but this time it was not just us. i went to several of the local cafes to try and get online, but was informed that their wireless was also out. we sure do rely on technology for a lot in our society. i felt sort of lost without it, or at least very disconnected from all of you.

i ran farther yesterday than i ever have before in my life. before then the farthest i have ever gone was the half marathon i ran in 2001. last week i equaled that; yesterday i beat it by two miles. baby steps, folks. baby steps.

i am going to meet ellen now so we can have some more nice times. just so you know, i like it when people come to visit. (hint, hint...)
