• I did almost all of my winter running around my house. I didn’t know the city was working on lanes for bike riders and runners/walkers for the lakefront path. Last weekend I was running on my regular path and a bike rider coming from the opposite side told me something like that I was in the wrong lane or that my lane was down there (and he pointed to my right). I stopped. I got annoyed. I mean, really? The Lakefront is FREE for everyone to use. One of the reasons I avoided that path (before I knew that was the path I am supposed to run in) is because it is much closer to the water and no trees around it. So during the summer it is always hot and sunny and during the winter it is colder and windier.
• The Yellow Pages are still printed? I haven’t seen one in years. I thought there were no longer printed.
• Another reminder thanks to Facebook. I was supposed to go to Hawaii 9 years ago. I had my airline and hotel accommodations but had to cancel because of a job commitment. I had recently been hired as a 1st grade teacher and my orientation dates were during the dates I was supposed to be in Hawaii. I had no choice but no cancel. I cannot believe I haven’t been there yet. So far the plan is to go in 2020 as my last state to run in and complete my goal of running a half marathon in each state.
• I am not having good luck with parking tickets. I received another one last week. This one annoys me even more because I know for a fact my car wasn’t where they said it was. According to the violation notice, I was ticketed because of special events restriction. No way! My car was in a parking lot where my friend works (and definitely not in the address listed in the notice). I left it there because we went to eat and then downtown to watch a show.
• Are you a fan of cold brew coffee? I received a sample from Dunkin Donuts but haven’t tried it yet. I do like the one from Starbucks. I made a pitcher of Starbucks Cold Brew this morning and that will last me about 3-4 days. Excited to try out DD!
• It amazed me that with all of the technological advances that go on every day, there is still a traffic jam whenever the power goes out after a storm. I mean, seriously? This isn’t something that can be fixed remotely? Isn’t there someone in the city that has access to all of the traffic lights and can check whether or not they’re working?
