A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman are sitting in a bar in New York reminiscing about home.
"Back in me pub in Glasgow," brags the Scotsman, "fer every four pints of stout I order, they give me one fer free!"
"In me pub in London," says the Englishman,"I pay fer two pint's o' Guiness and they give me a third one free!"
"That's nuthin'" says the Irishman, "In my pub back in Dublin, you walk up to the bar, they give the first pint fer free, the second pint fer free, the third pint fer free -- and then they take you upstairs and you have sex for FREE!"
"Is that true?" asks the Scotsman. "Has that really happened to you?"
"Well, no," says the Irishman, "but it happens to me sister all the time!"
Well I'm still on track for my 2013 Resolutions. Yesterday I finished book #5 for the year. I read "Life Code" by Dr. Phil McGraw. It was a very interesting book and one that I'll probably refer back to regularly, either as a reminder to myself that it's ok to stand up for myself, or when I forget some of what I've read and want to go back and look at it again. It also let me know that I can still put up a little bit of a wall to protect myself from being taking advantage of while still maintaining a positive and friendly attitude. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
As for running, I set a goal this year of logging 1000 miles of running. As of yesterday I am just over 208 miles for the year. In order to be "on track" I need to log another 42 miles before the end of this month. In looking at my training schedule for the remainder of this month, it appears that I will log that much, or maybe even a little more, culminating with the Run the Bluegrass Half Marathon in Lexington, KY on March 30.
In addition to those things, my sister and her husband will be celebrating their Silver Anniversary this month. I'm hosting a reception for them next Saturday. I chose Saturday only for the fact that it is the weekend before their anniversary and probably should have looked at the calendar a little closer. Since the party is on the 23rd, it falls on the day before Palm Sunday, so my brother, who is a minister, will be unable to attend. However, my sister did give me a lengthy list of people to invite and she took some extra invitations to pass out to more of her friends, so I expect she and her husband will be surrounded with a lot of their friends and family to celebrate this milestone.
