I fail to the see the connection between the Rubik's cube and insider trading.

Rubik's cube apologist. Would you be so supportive if it didn't have 9 different colored faces? No. I didn't think so. If all faces were the same color, you'd say, "That's not a puzzle, just a bunch of smaller cubes that rotate on three different axes. In fact, they're not even solid cubes. What a worthless toy." That's what you'd say.

Nine?

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

Yawn.....long marathon training plans are overrated...I'm going for the bargain 4 week plan. Besides, I have a new fool-proof idea to get me to the finish...... I'm going to run in front of Bonkin! Every time my garmin beeps, he'll be so annoyed, that he will give me a kick start My only real question with this is do I use Charmin or Cottenelle for padding?

This is a great plan. It's sure to work. I'm going to get one of those heart rate monitors that beeps every once for every heart beat. When you can't hear the beep anymore, it means you've outrun me, or it's time to call 911. I'm on a similar plan, it's called the "6 weeks, 3 days to go" plan.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

A likely excuse for "one handed typing". Best one I've yet.

Agreed. It's oddly refreshing to find others in similar straits.

I'm hoping to start running late this week. Crap, it's already late this week...maybe early next week.

I have a new super simple, 2 step plan for you. Step 1: Say "I'll run tomorrow". Step 2: Wake up and repeat Step 1.

See. It's a powerful, yet versatile plan. I use it all the time to ~~rationalize~~ quit smoking. I've never really been sure what PhD actually means. It's Procrastinating Hippie Dude, right?

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff was 80% done. So by now, he's got to be 65% done.
