Hot holy hand humid!  (I just wanted every word of that sentence to start with 'h."  I really meant, 'holy hot AND humid!")  It was time to retire my other pair of Mizunos this morning.  If it wasn't for that and the fact that I have a NEVER QUIT attitude, I would have quit. 

As I was running down Broadway, I looked down one of the side roads.  A lady waved at me.  It wasn't a 'hi, I'm being friendly" wave.  It was a 'hey, I know you" kind of wave.  You know, hand about shoulder height, palm facing me, fingers wagging back and forth at a brisk rate.  I didn't recognize her, but I'm sure it's someone I go to church with. 

When I got home Emily wanted to help me with taking my shoes off.  She's so cute.  I let her.  She tried so hard to untie them.  I had to finally do it for her, but I let her pull them off my feet.  Then I realized I was dripping sweat on her.  Poor thing.

Speaking of Emily, there's still time to add a $5 donation (or however much you want) to the Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona foundation.  You all have been so generous so far.  Thank you so much!

Nice work Burt! It was humid here too this morning. Blech! I hate humidity! I live in the desert for a reason.

From Burt on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 15:41:17 from 206.19.214.144

RAD, do you have something you want to say to me? Any surprises or anything?

From RAD on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 15:44:39 from 76.27.16.189

2 things:

1- surprises? Me? never.

2- I always keep my word! :)

From Burt on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 15:52:35 from 206.19.214.144

RAD - I'm scared. But now I owe you a big thank you!

From Burt on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 15:52:48 from 206.19.214.144

THANK YOU!!!!

From runningafterbabies on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 16:04:35 from 71.195.219.247

Hey howdy (I) hate humidity

From RAD on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 16:15:14 from 76.27.16.189

Hey, you're welcome. Anytime.

See, not all surprises are BAD ones :)

From Burt on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 16:39:41 from 206.19.214.144

RAB - good one. :)

RAD - true. But I know there's another surprise in store.

Now you have that awkward moment to look forward to where you see her in church and can't remember her name.

Way to expertly hit exactly 800 miles on both pairs. Not OCD at all.

From Burt on Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 20:35:52 from 206.19.214.144

Joe - maybe I should go for 888.88.

From Squirrel on Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 06:48:26 from 75.105.134.2

I cant believe you put 800 miles on your shoes!

From auntieem on Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 12:07:34 from 67.182.149.104

Hey, time for some new shoes. Hattoris help humid hot heels!

From Burt on Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 14:17:56 from 206.19.214.144

Squirrel - Some people think it's not enough.

auntieem - Do they really or were you just saying that to have a 5 word sentence all beginning with 'h"?
