Quick, before I have to spread more bacteria on more plates. . .

It's absolutely gorgeous outside--40 something and sunny. I grabbed some Chinese food with my favorite gentleman, and we ate strawberry popsicles while walking back to lab. Nice doesn't cover it :) Lovely comes closer.

Recent devlopments (in brief)
1. I've started running 3 times a week. It's something I haven't done since Jr. High, when I was on the Sherrard Jr. High track team. I was freaking slow, and likely that hasn't changed. But I've needed to get OUT and do SOMETHING or else I was going to start feeling even older and more frustrated than I actually am.

So far, it's working out really well. On Saturday, I'll be into my 3rd week. So I may start posting a brief "running log" here for my own records and benefit. I'm fairly certain I'm hooked.

2. I got a nice Timex watch to help me keep track of intervals and not lug my cellphone for time keeping purposes. I haven't had a watch since college. I had to quit then because I was a compulsive watch-checker. I believe Dave and Sam can vouch for me on that point. But it's great to have a watch again. If only I could make the beeping louder so I could actually hear it. . . .
