Life's what you make it. Celebrate it.

The halls, downtown, are decked. That they decorations came out the day after election day was truly shocking. And symbolic, I suppose.

Distance: 3.1 miles
Duration: 28:07
Pace: 9:03

And like that, it's winter. Winterish. Damp and cold. Fire and thick socks and comforters and maybe time t take in the side porch. Still unpacking from last weekend's show, putting away things.

A couple days ago, the wife called me regimented. That kind of bothered me. Not like, it hurt my feelings, just that she looks at it that way. Like my neuroses affect her, my need to have things just so.

But I don't want things to be just so. What I want is for things to no longer be as fucking disorganized and sloppy. I don't like tripping on things, I don't like playing "dodgem" with all the stacks of books and boxes and rags as I walk through the narrow halls of our little home. I never did.

Regimented. That would be me telling her what to do, and I never do that.

Headachy. That's what this season is about. Weely headaches.
