I got up late again today, but I also went to bed late.  Two negatives make a positive.  I should be healthy, wealthy, and wise.  I saw the old lady that never looks at me.  I yelled good morning to her and got a mumble out of her.  I said good morning to one of the day laborers as he was walking down the street.  He said, "Good morning amigo."  My back was hurting a little again today.  Better stretch it out some and do more sit-ups.

Nice run, amigo.

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 14:00:47 from 207.225.192.66

Mumble ... Mumble... Mumble

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 14:04:51 from 68.76.197.194

Gracias Pablo y Leandra.

No Lori, you weren't the old lady.

From Eric Day on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 14:11:54 from 189.192.156.72

Hola Amigo ! La fiesta sigue, sigue, sigue ... la fiesta sigue, sigue, sigue

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 14:14:14 from 68.76.197.194

I suddenly have the urge to grab a pair of maracas!

From Eric Day on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 14:21:13 from 189.192.156.72

oh yeah ! oh yeah !

From Lily on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 15:31:08 from 67.199.181.242

Ah yes, Arizona, land of Amigos for sure.

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 15:34:16 from 205.172.12.229

Yeah

From Rhett on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 16:40:27 from 74.32.212.114

Good afternoon! Burt.

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 16:59:49 from 68.76.197.194

Lily - amigos calientes.

April - LOL!

Rhett - Same to you. Say hi to your mother for me.

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 17:01:00 from 71.219.64.200

Great work so far this week burt. I will forgive you for being a Wrestling fan, scary!!!

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 17:22:05 from 68.76.197.194

Kelli - I not as big an aficionado as I used to be. Hey, did you take a shower yet?

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 17:27:42 from 71.219.64.200

NOPE, I want to run, so no shower.

From Britta on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 17:39:31 from 72.130.108.181

What's up!

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 18:00:04 from 68.76.197.194

Britta! I'm glad your back. Recently Lyns changed her blog title to The Sucky Blogger, but I made her change it because it seemed more appropriate for you. I kid. Hope you enjoyed the vacation.

From Britta on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 18:23:30 from 72.130.108.181

I agree! Life seems unreasonable busy right now and my blog is for sure suffering. I promise to get back to being a "serious" blogger again. I just can't promise when.

From auntieem on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 20:00:09 from 67.182.145.8

Hey, we could have run together today, same pace (ish). I am always early to bed, early to rise, and I'm healthy at least. Wealthy and wise are debatable.

From Teena on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 21:24:59 from 67.177.20.13

Just laughing reading all of the salutations!!! :)

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 21:33:17 from 98.167.151.26

Em - Do you know I have a daughter named Emily? Anytime you want to go running come on down. Or just dial into my extrasensory perception frequency.

Teena - Why is everyone yelling at me? LOL.

From allie on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 21:52:27 from 67.177.43.41

buenas noches. ¿cómo estaba su viaje a Colorado?

From Burt on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 22:02:40 from 98.167.151.26

muy gracioso Allie. Me haces reir hasta mearme.

From Brent on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 22:53:06 from 76.8.201.223

Burt, aka Nocho libre - you da man, say muey bueno to old lady, see if it gets a smile, my grade school spanish needs help. Where is the ground hog blog?

Stay Kool, hit the showers, B of BS Rools out

From auntieem on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 22:59:19 from 67.182.145.8

My names not really Emily, but I have a daughter named Emily too.

From Burt on Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 00:03:54 from 98.167.151.26

Brent - Ground hog day is my best friend's holiday. He's more of a movie buff than I am, so I'm sure it has something to do with that Bill Murray flick.

Em - Of course your name is Emily. Don't you remember in the Wizard of Oz when Professor Marvel says, "There's a woman. She's wearing a polka dot dress. Her face is careworn." And Dorothy says, "That's Aunt Em." And the professor says, "Yes. Her name is Emily."? You'll always be Emily to me.

From sam Dean-Howard on Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 06:15:34 from 78.32.130.9

OH Burt, how do you remember such lines crazy man !

Ok now great running and good afternoon Amigo Bart!
