Gail called and the birthday dinner for her friend got postponed from tonite.  Where Gail's friend lives - only about an hour from San Antonio but it's up in Texas Hill Country - they are still getting some windy, rainy, and occasionally hail weather.  So Gails friend sent out a message to all the guests and told everyone just to stay home tonite off the roads and be safe and we'll do it another time.  Probably a good idea, Texans are horrible drivers in really bad weather.  Crazy how it can be so nice down here in San Antonio but just an hour away the weather is going nutso.

Oh, Robert, I feel for you on the vertigo, I would not wish that on anyone, not even my ex-wife, and that's saying something!  I have what is called BPPV (you can read about it on the internet, it is a weird type of vertigo), but luckily mine is pretty infrequent and only occurs when I'm in the prone position, thank goodness.  Glad you were able to run.  My doc told me that in my case with my type,  running and walking actually help with vertigo  - and can help preclude an episode too possibly, but no guarantees - so I try to get at least a small walk in every day, even on my running days. I usually go for my walk right before I go to bed, just a nice easy walk around the neighborhood and that seems to help me sleep better too.

Actuall, obiebyke, if you rest too much your hamstring can tighten up  - it's kind of like arthritis, if you do nothing the joints 'stiffen up' - so my PT told me to get moving at least sometime during the day, even an easy walk will help keep it loose.  It's not gonna cure it, of course, but at least you won't have it stiffen up on you either.   Good luck!   Thanks for the fermentation allowance, lol.  I won't need it much, I don't drink that much anymore - not like when I was young and crazy and overseas in the military and we young whippersnappers would be at it just about all night long and still be able to go to work the next day.   I can't do that anymore!   Ahh, youth, when you think you're invincible and are going to live forever.  Looking back at some of the crazy stuff I did in my 20s, I'm surprised I'm still alive to tell about it. 

PAD, if you eat kimchi, you are a braver man than I am, lol.  I remember that stuff when I was in Korea.  OMG.  Talking to some of the Korean ladies who just finished eating that stuff, you had to lean waaay back from them just so you wouldn't catch on fire! 

Have fun with your 6, Zelanie. So what's your daughter going to do all day long next week while you are still in school?  This sounds like it could be trouble...

Safe trip, HsM!  Hey, when you're in Baltimore and if you have time, go visit Fort McHenry and watch the presentation about the National Anthem.  It is really good.  But also very emotional/moving, so take some kleenex with you.

Congrats on a great run for you, Mitch!   Have fun with Bella tonite.

But, Phillie, if the weather gets really SUPER bad and apocalypstic, what if there is NO tomorrow?  You better run tonite.      Hope the weather behaves for you.

Happy anniversary, Jack!   Hey, maybe you and DW should go on the class trip to Mexico with him for your anniversary....I bet that will just thrill him. 

OK, Lauren I have no idea at all what 'program in R' means.   From the sounds of what you said, maybe I don't want to know either.  Good luck!  Glad your whatever-the-hell-it-was is feeling better!

Well, Damaris, glad you were not in traffic when that happened, could've been a lot worse.  Glad you are safe and uninjured.  It is a pain, though, dealing with insurance, auto repair, etc.  Good luck!   Hope your run goes fantastic for you today and makes you feel better about it all.

Unfortunately, no.

Hi, I have 10-13 miles to run today, I was hit from behind at the parking in Broward (while exiting the parking), my new car does not look so new anymore, and I got the wrong breakfast and lunch order.  Maybe I should just get under the covers all day?

Yes, these are definite signs you should crawl in a hole and pull it in after you!!

With a handful amount of martinis, right?
