I am Pam.

Pam was right.  I’ve become her.  My wife asked me tonight if I wanted to run at the park while she road her bike along side.  “No.  I was going to stay inside now.  Besides, I think the path is wet.

The path is wet.  Yeah, the asphalt running path.  The same path where I ran in the most frightening lightning storm of my life.  The same path where I ran and jumped off the cliff into the river to rescue my son, who didn’t need rescuing anyway.

Crap.  When the heck did I become Pam?

I did do some good stuff today.  I mowed the lawn.  I cleaned the algae off the side of my house.  I also installed a new freeze-proof water faucet on the back deck.  It has been broken for a year and I kept putting off soldering all the pipe together because its a pain.  But I did it and I had zero leaks.

See, I’m doing all kinds of household chores and junk and not running.  Lovely.

Tomorrow, I’m going to the gym.  Tomorrow morning.  Does that sound like Pam or what?

    Come on now, Mark?! With all the junk Jon’s eating and no running…I bet his legs aren’t half as good as yours. Maybe he even has the beginnings of cellulite? Damn you, Jon! Run for %$#@& sake already!

    “I cleaned the algae off the side of my house”

    You aren’t me…you’re SPONGE BOB!
    Algae? on your HOUSE? Do you live in an aquarium? Is there a man hold a bubbling treasure chest in your front yard?
    Do you live in a pineapple under the sea?

    ARE your legs better than Marks or maybe even better than Pams?

    I think Mark’s right…you know he’s looking for running partners for his big race. Now what size skirt do you wear…you better get out there and run or we’ll sign you up ;-)
