[photopress:dayquil.jpg,thumb,alignleft]  Of Recovery: So, I was sick all week.  After three days of being homebound, I’m back in the office and feeling depressed about all the catching up I have to do…..so I decided to update my blog.  Like how that works?   Anyways, I’m about 90% recovered, but I may be checking myself into a substance abuse treatment center following my 5-day DayQuil/NyQuil binge.  The NyQuil knocked me on my ass at night and the DayQuil made me blissfully loopy, so I basically spent the past 5 days pretty buzzed.    They didn’t do jack for my stuffy head, sore throat, coughing, aching or fever, though.

[photopress:rodeorun.jpg,thumb,alignleft] Of rodeoruns: I contemplated all week about the Rodeo Run 10K tomorrow, and I’ve decided to go ahead and still run it….though, “run” may be a generous description given my current state.  I just want to finish without passing out somewhere along Crawford.  Maybe I’ll fill one of my Amphipod flasks with some DayQuil and finish the race with a nice runner’s high. 

[photopress:rodeo.jpg,thumb,alignleft]...and pimpin cowboys:  About an hour ago, the Rodeo Trail Ride passed by our building - saw horses and buggies (carriages? whatever they’re called) passing by.  Most of the guys on horses were wearing normal, typical “western wear,” but there was one guy all pimped out in a knee-length white coat, white boots and, I swear to god, white cowboy hat.  Awesome.   Welcome to Houston.  Anyways, I had completely forgotten that today was Go Texan Day, so I’m the only one in the office that isn’t wearing something involving denim, snakeskin leather or lasso fringes.  I’m pretty pleased about that, though.
