Since my incessant blog entries which detail my problems with coffee lids, fat kids, service workers, etc, have been deemed a form of revenge on society, I have decided to write a column free of cynicism and animosity just to show there are no hard feelings:
We had a pretty good winter complete with lots of snow. As a result, I got to ski quite frequently. I like skiing.
Yesterday I ran a crisp three miles after work. I like running.
A fellow runner decided he would do something novel and switch lanes with every completed lap. But that wasn't annoying at all. We should all encourage innovation.
A woman arrived in a SUV with her slender-challenged little boy. He waddled playfully on one section of the track as his mother walked laps. My heart was warmed that he was encouraged to play on the track. As movement fatigued him, he sat down in one of the inside lanes. The fresh air must have done him good.
A man smoked a cigarette on the bleachers as he watched his daughter's soccer game on the other side of the fence. But I didn't let the smoke bother me at all. We all have our vices, I thought. And at least he was watching his daughter instead watching television. He probably never watches TV.
My run was complete in about twenty minutes which is a good time for me on a late March afternoon. I waved godbye to the track denizens and proceded to exit the stadium.
Thank you and have a nice day.
