Tuesday, August 5: I was out of milk on Monday morning. No problem. I enjoy black coffee from time to time. But, this morning I wanted a skim milk-Equal fix. I really prefer Splenda, but they don't have that here. I'm making do with what I can get.In an effort to maximize time, I decided to stop at the convenience store on the way back from my run. So in I ran ... soaking wet from sweat ... picked up a quart and politely declined the saleslady's offer "Breakfast for you sir?" You have to understand that she asks me this every day despite the time. It's funny.At this point, I'm about a quarter-of-a-mile from home. Should I walk? Or should I get in that last leg? I opted to run...milk in hand...past the kids going to school and past the retirees walking along the canal. They were puzzled.The coffee was good.
