A really lazy day -- too rainy to go out, and I woke didn't wake up until nearly 11am. So much for working on the network while everyone else was asleep! Still have to pull the Big Switch between the old gateway/DSL line and the new one. Not to mention several other big changes.

I finished reading The Admonishments of Kherishdar -- very wise and beautiful.

Some good IM conversations, and a little singing. All-in-all a good day, even though little got done. I need to learn that I don't have to Do Things every day; spending quiet time in the living room with Colleen is at least as important.

In the link department, The Shocking Truth About Running Shoes -- which is the not-very-shocking news that humans evolved to run barefoot. This includes some unique modifications of the foot for efficient long-distance running, which are totally negated by running in shoes.

Cool! And the nearest store is walking distance from me! (No way I'd buy a pair without trying them on!)

I've never worn them, but I'm going to go try on a pair this afternoon. I tend not to like things between my toes, so it may be a bust. We'll see.

Seems to me that toe socks are essential for this type of shoe, eh?

Or no socks :)
