A couple of stories...

  • Friday night I went out to complete Week 7 Day 3 of C25K.  For some reason the run was much more difficult than previous runs that week, even though it was the same amount of time.  I kept getting bad stitches in my side and once I even had to stop.  Towards the end of my race, a police officer turned on the street I was on after pausing at the intersection.  I didn't think much of it, because I see cops pretty often on my runs.  But as I came back over the railroad tracks toward the house, I saw two more cop cars.  One of them stopped and asked me if I'd seen two guys with a backpack.  I told him I had only seen two girls at the fountain and a bunch of guys on the basketball court.  Today it was in the news that the body of a graduate student was found in the fountain at UMHB!!!  =(  I ran by there twice Friday night, which is when he apparently went missing.  I think this guy lived on my street and I saw his friends outside talking Friday night, probably very worried about their missing friend.  The news said that they don't suspect foul play, but it's still pretty unnerving!
  • This happened a few weeks ago, but I wanted to blog about it before I forgot!  We were sitting in the living room at home, with the front door opened but the screen door closed.  As he often does, Mason was staring out the window of the screen door, like this:  (old picture!)
          All of a sudden, he screamed and came running for me. I looked at the door to see what had happened, and the neighbors cat was standing up on its back legs with just it's head showing through the window. Mason was totally freaked out and wouldn't go near the door for a while! I laughed so hard I was crying! =)
