We Talked About Stuff

On Thursday, he comes to our house. Actually, he comes to our house every day, but on Wednesdays and Thursdays he stays. (On Mondays and Tuesdays, he eventually goes to his mom's.)

So on Thursday I came home from work early, and we got into our running gear and drove up Mopac to the river to go running. But on the way there, traffic came to a standstill. We exited early and parked at the old Zilker bathhouse.

As we walked to the bridge on Town Lake trail, we talked about stuff. And then we ran four miles. It wasn't too hot, so the run was pleasant. Still, neither of us had run there for a while, so we were tired when we finished.

As we walked back from the trail, we talked about stuff. And then we sat for a half hour or so and watched the intrepid swimmers swim up and down the long, cold length of Barton Springs. We sat there under the rustling Pecans on that sunny afternoon and talked about stuff.

A good day to come home early from work.

Adam's Mother

Adam Curry talks about his mother's lung cancer in his Sourcecode podcast from yesterday:

this morning I started recording and I lost it for the first time in I think more than 20 years ...

this is exactly how these things go, right? Like, Murphy pops up and says, Ohh, yeah! ...

You think you're riding on top of the world, you know. ... and life throws you a curve ball and says Hey dude. ... This is what's really important.
