Did not run this morning due to heavy rains...if I had 2 pair of shoes, I told myself, I would've have run, but since I left my second pair in Montana for easy of travel, and because they were soaking wet, I didn't...maybe I'll run this evening.

Today starts my 45 days of maximizing all minutes in each day until I turn 45, at which point I can just be slovenly for rest of my life.   Off to a good start...Short run, read 10% of an industry book, looked up how to do some of the other stuff I've settled on and since it just started I don't yet feel behind.   Best and funniest suggestion given to me (I only asked a few folks), was Case's suggestion:  "Don't yell at Mom for 45 days," followed sheepishly thereafter by "Don't yell at me and Finn for 45 days?"   Having committed to the first one I guess he was testing to see how far he could take it...I told him we'll see about the second one :), which I guess was a least better than yelling "GO TO YOUR ROOM!"  Full disclosure, we don't actually send out boys to their room, we send them to the guest room because it is both boring and otherwise completely unused.

I'm one week out from the start of my "45 to 45" program.   It's an in progress self created program I hope to follow leading up to my 45th birthday on Oct. 6.   Exercising, reading books, meeting neighbors, that kinda "be the best I can be" stuff.   I'm taking suggestions if you've got any great one's, but only sort of as I may have already bitten off more than I can chew, as is my nature I suppose.

Felt like my faithful blog checkers needed a random picture.
