First off: No, I still haven’t decided what exactly I want to do with this blog, other than change its name. It’s kind of hard to motivate oneself to write in something that’s titled, “Why the Hell Not?”
Secondly, I would like to inform my readers (if there are any) that I am no longer going to run the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in May. I’ve had ongoing issues with tendinitis and shin splints, and I decided it just wasn’t worth trying to push through them. I’ll probably run a couple of half marathons this summer, and I will train to complete my second marathon in the fall.
Thirdly, I broke my hand. Seriously. I’d love to make up an elaborate story about a fist fight and how at least my hand doesn’t look as bad as the other guy’s face or something like that. But that would be lying. In fact, I stepped out the back door of the #8 Halsted bus and swung my hand into a metal sign post. Yes, I was completely sober at the time; just apparently so lost in my own head that I was completely unaware of where I was going. And people wonder why I don’t drive a car or ride a bicycle!
So, I’m in a cast for the next month. I am typing this with one hand. And this is where I get to my final confession: I really only wrote this entry for the typing practice. Suckers!

Now youknow how I feel typing with 2 fingers. Sorry to hear about your calamaties, is the sign okay? Trying to be humourus here, is it working? Live in Milwaukee, we are practically neighbors,what a thought. Well if this does’nt depress you I don’t know what will. Have a safe one Haha
