That shirtless jogger in horsehead mask on the NBC news today - hilarious!

As a short (and shameless) publicity stunt, of course, nothing more.

Here out West, the sky looked like this all day long:

And I kept thinking, would I really let a minor cold keep me away from my run?

[In a nasal voice] Nnnnn-ope.

So what if I’ve got the sniffles, a scratchy throat and all that phlegm? Have you noticed that the more you mope around the house and the harder you blow your nose, the worse it gets?

The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that’d make me feel like Tiffany’s, then… then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

And as you can see, I’m a sucker for Breakfast at Tiffany’s. No. Correction. I’m a sucker for Tiffany’s. The movie was OK. (The book: SO much better. No happy Hollywood ending, though; don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.)

But anyway. Tiffany’s has been on my mind all day today - oh, who am I kidding, all week - because, you see, today I had an appointment at Niketown to pick up my new, limited edition NWM LunarGlide+ 4 kicks.
