"Dear Rosemary" and others

While reading Honey's Room, the name Rosemary pops up a couple of times and then she gets popped. Made me think of Foo's "Dear Rosemary" which is the first song of my list today. I'm at the 2/3 point of the novel so I'll be done by tomorrow night. Solid read.

I consciously packed light (my canned, liquid lunch is at work) so that I could ride bare-backed again. I won't be able to do it tomorrow but I certainly could on Friday.

I ran a 22:19 5K yesterday -- not bad, but I know I can do better. I am going to run again today and will call an audible on Friday.

Made the light at the Highway again in the nick of time -- once again, thanks to the second counter there. I hustled then, but otherwise I'd like to save my energy for the run today. See if I can get my time down to under 22 again.

It feels as though the left headphone is overcompensating for the right one, which does play but at about 10% capacity. It's a bummer, but finding good folding headphones is tough. I wonder what I'm doing to have this happen.

Took a phone call near Pier 40 from Liz but otherwise I am making decent time for someone who isn't moving too fast. This week, Smithers had to come in earlier than normal because another editor was out. He came in 15 minutes after me at most. That's fine, and since I'm not going straight to the office tomorrow and I come in really early on Fridays, there's no reason to race to the office.

In between Chambers and Murray is where the wiseguy security guard stands in the middle of the two bike lanes that run directly in front of the building (200 west st). He's normally over the top with his traffic-directing gestures but today, rather than do that, he stood right in the the middle of the two lanes. Normally this isn't a problem, but a suit with a lithium-powered bike crept up right behind me and I almost clipped him. Oh well.

I haven't hit the gym this week -- will try to maybe tomorrow night.

Thank you for reading.
