I'm posting in the lobby of my Phoenix Hotel because it's free down here, but costs fourteen bucks a day up in my room. Also I enjoy watching yesterday's runners do the marathon shuffle toward the front desk. (The marathon shuffle is a funky hitch-and-a-hop caused by lactic acid and other exercise waste products that looks a lot like the way Redd Foxx walked in Sanford and Son.)
On the road in an hour back to LA. It's been a stressful trip as illness, travel and marathon coaching do not mix. I didn't get to visit any of my Phoenix friends and barely had time to call home.
But I did get to ride the shiny new Metro Rail. Public rail is a lot like public housing: there's a brief spring of neatness and order before an immediate plunge into the winter of neglect, graffiti and unknown substances stuck to the furniture.
More in a bit.

sorry there was sickness...did the cold get to you, or were others sick?
Fred Sanford's gait -- perfect description of the post marathon shuffle.

Redd Foxx was THE MAN. I have a few of his old comedy tapes I listen to every few years.
"Do you know where cousins come from....?......
Aunt holes."
Classic!
Feeling much better. Symptoms were aches, lethargy, and majoy head congestion. Fever-like symptoms without much of a temp. Some night sweats.
Maybe I'm going through menopause!
Never know, I ate a few Luna Moons the other day.
it took me a shade under a week to feel normal again.....Whatever normal is!
Get well John!
Thanks, Kiley.
I had the same symptoms, yet no fever.
Odd.
I think I saw this on the "X-Files."
See you Saturday!
