I don't really have too much financial to impart.
I just wanted to let you all know, in the interest of not over running this blog with talking about running, I have started another blog. (Don't laugh too loud please.) 
It is called
And in case you're wondering, yes, it is a bit of a take on Forest Gump.
So, anyway, I just have one post up so far, and it doesn't look very pretty yet. But I wanted to share it with ya'll.

In other news - this week sure has been one where we lost a lot of icons.
Ed McMahon's death has kind of been lost in all the MJ adoration ... which I think is truly sad. I grew up hearing him say "Here's Johnny!" The last few years of his life were a financial mess, but he still left behind a legacy of a life lived to its fullest.
Then of course Farrah losing her battle with cancer. What a beautiful, strong and courageous woman. I hope to never have to battle anything like cancer, but if I do, I hope to be just half as strong as her.
And last of course, Michael Jackson. I really surprised myself by how emotional I got upon hearing that he was dead. I've enjoyed his music through the years, and found some of his songs to be particularly meaningful to me at times - but he also led a life which was quite strange. I guess I prefer to focus on the legacy of the music he left behind, rather than what he may or may not have done in his personal life.
Unfortunately, like when Princess Di and Mother Teresa died, one person's death seems to be overshadowing the others.
RIP Ed, Michael and Farrah ... along with all the non-famous people who also went took their last breath this past week.

My dad was a big Johnny Carson fan - watched him every night. I of course couldn't do that, because for a long time my bedtime was way before he came on - but once I *could* stay up that late, I had to watch long enough for the Johnny in the hat, and the beginning monologue.
Liza,
Who would've thought, huh? It would be nice if they gave them somewhat of more equal airtime. But the media tends to glom onto whatever will create the most sensationalism - i.e. viewer's eyes.
