The iPhone. I don't relish the isea of switching providers, though. HTC Droid Incredible instead?

No Boundaries, week 2

Ran last night on the treadmill to avoind the heat. When I looked at our upcoming Saturday group run, I saw that we will be running in 5-minute increments, walking in between. It must be my general state of exhaustion, but that seems like a long time. Keep in mind, I've run for 2-3 mile stretches at a time (not that long ago!), run 5 and 10K's, and recently completed a half-marathon without dying.

Why the bejayzus does 5 minutes of running seem like a struggle?

Am I really aging that quickly?

What would Dave say

about the possibility of a new Internet privacy law being tossed around in Cogress?
Lots of the debate seems to revolve around "opt-in" vs. "opt-out" as it relates to advertising on the internet, collecting a user's personal information, and tracking their traffic patterns.
Opt-in rules require your consent before your information is  collected, while opt-out lets the website do it until you say no.Read the story here.

Most looking forward to...

Joseph O'Connor's Ghost Light. There is a comprehensive review here.

To me, O'Connor's writing defines what I see as the future of classic fiction. I'll be passing his books to my grandchildren, hoping that they'll be as unable to put them down as I have been; wanting them to have the same sense of the ethereal relationship between time and space that O'Connor created for me. 

I hope that Ghost Light is as poetic and compelling as Star of the Sea and Redemption Falls.
