Tomorrow morning at the crack of nine o'clock, I will attempt to reenact the Chariots of Fire slow motion run along St. Andrew's West Sands Beach. The difference between the movie and my effort is, the movie's slow motion will be my actual speed! My personal trainer insists that I will be a "runner" by November's end. I tell him to put his crack pipe away. As you can see, there is a nice friendly banter between us.
In my effort to retain the "Doppler" nickname, I present todays weather: for the first time since I arrived, the heavens finally opened up........for 3 minutes. The locals are wildly celebrating the end of the year long drought. The end of that downpour, totalling 1/100th of an inch of rain, brought a beautiful fall day. I did read moments ago that Nebraska is experiencing a heatwave! Imagine, it will be 95 degrees there today. What's with that?
One other thing I would like to bring you up to date on, I have quit smoking. Finally. Sell short all the tobacco companies as soon as possible. Breathe free or die, baby! Not to worry, I will not become one of those militant ex-smokers, just an ex-smoker.
That's all for now, must go out and enjoy the day. Maybe a 5 mile run or something. Not.
I remain,
Sticking to the plan,
Mike
