I got up early for a change since I have to supervise a basketball game tonight. I ran on the treadmill (ugh) before I fed Charlotte (double ugh). But it wasn't terrible.

I'm not saying I ever loved the treadmill, but I used to be able to run on it without wanting to kill myself. Maybe I need to get the T.V. in that room hooked up. Right now all I do is watch the clock/distance.

TV definitely helps - the numbers stop moving when you watch them. It's like looking at the toaster and waiting for toast to pop up.

Sorry you were engorged.

A little Blockbuster might help, too.

Burt, you make everyone uncomfortable when you speak so bluntly. I thought my little innuendo (using the word "double") was both clever and classy.

It's funny because I have a DVD player that I could easily hook up to the TV that's just sitting there in the room, but no DVDs, really, to play. Unless I want to watch My So Called Life. Or Mr. Bean. Actually, neither of those sound so bad.

Hi Tracy!!! Treadmills are horrible - the only thing worse than them is not running at all ;-).

Burt is blunt, but hey, who's perfect?

Hi Bonnie! I bet you're glad 2012 is over! You had a difficult year, but I'm amazed at how you weathered the storm! May 2013 bring you blessings!

So, Burt, decided against that comment, eh? Probably smart. You crack me up.

What? I said nothing :)

Yep, a full report is being sent to Sasha as we speak.
