It's the start of a new work week, and I for one am not looking forward to this week. One of our other guys is going to Philadelphia on Wednesday, along with my boss. So we are going to be two people short come Wednesday. Not going to be fun.

This weekend wasn't too bad. I was going to go out with one of my friends on Friday, but he bailed on me, so I went and hung out at Canopenner's house for a little while. Then on Saturday I went to the casino, and I found a $75 ticket in one of the machines. I should have turned it in, but I didn't. So when I left a security guard told me that I had to give the money back, or they were going to charge me with theft! I gave him the money, but I put up a little stink because on every machine there is a sign that says everyone is responsible for their own winnings, and to make sure they have everything before they walk away. oh well, I was still up $45. Then later that evening I went over to Canopenner's house again, and we carved some pumpkins!! I hope he puts pictures of the 80+lbs pumpkin we carved.

Then on Sunday I watched the Vikings whoop ass!! It was a good game, I enjoyed it. I also went for a 1 1/2 hour hike in the woods. That was nice to be able to clear my head, and just loose myself in the woods. So that was my weekend. I hope everyone's was as good if not better than mine.

Here are some interesting facts about the benefits of running:
Scientists have found a marked improvement in hearing sensitivity after running. Running increases the bodies' metabolic rate for up to 8 hours after a person stops. Running strengthens bones.

Have a great day!!
