What's he building?

Lifted some weights and ran this morning. Now I am having trouble getting started working. Listening to Tom Waits and wishing I had more of his stuff.

It was 4 below this morning, so I did all my exericise indoors. Running around a track is sort of meditative, but it gets a little old. As soon as it gets warm in the Spring and I run for the first time outdoors, it's almost like rediscovering the love of running. Running indoors is like drinking decaf.

I've been reading Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo. It's a compelling story, although rather simple. The only problem for me is I keep picturing Paul Neuman as the main character--he played him in the movie version. I only saw half of the movie on HBO about 5 years ago, and enjoyed what I saw, but now I find the images it planted in my head to be distracting.

Toe Jaleo, where you at these days?
