Apparently Good Friday is not a popular day at the gym, so my workout tonight was luxuriously empty. And after a stressful work week, I felt so good running that I cracked my first smile of the day on the treadmill. Good thing I’m smiling, because next week I’m running in a 10K. Although I could just wake up and run that distance without much training, it is so much more enjoyable if I’m actually in shape.

Does this anger anyone else besides me? The risks carried by the disease are so much higher than any real risk from the vaccine. Why do people continue to put more faith in unproven anecdotes than scientific evidence? And put other people’s health and well-being at stake because of it? Grrrr.

And here’s another thing that is hard to understand: my cousin’s wife’s grandma was murdered earlier this week. She was found in the trunk of her car after the family reported her missing. Why would someone take the life of a 75 year-old woman? Totally senseless. Apparently it is all over the papers in the Northwest, so please keep the family in your thoughts.

Oh, and maybe you heard?  We have a new governor.

More coming your way later this weekend.
