Turns out the redonk storm tearing up the east coast is causing us to scrub the launch. Blast-off now set for 6 am tomorrow.
 
just got back from walking to my sons school and back.. 25 minutes to jog there and 70 minutes to walk back.
 
There you go running with nobody chasing you again, Mark. Someday you'll learn.

OK, some aspects of my buddy's sordid tale have spawned a story idea. The Coincidental Runner
I'm thinking this guy's life goes to shit, he has a breakdown and takes off like Forrest Gump on his little running trip. While running, he drives by or something the scene of a brutal murder in progress. He keeps going.
The cops find evidence linking him to the scene, though he does not know this and keeps running.
Every time the cops get close, he "slips away" though he's still running for his own reasons unaware the cops are looking. This, of course, makes the cops think all the more he's guilty...

Whaddya think?

Whew! Sounds like it's time for some refreshment. I'm going with either beer or dark rum; dark rum's tasty straight and it mixes well with just about anything refreshing. Probably hit the store tomorrow for some grill fodder, and just kick back on the deck. Let's lift one to the memory of those who served.

Sounds like a combination of The Swimmer with Burt Lancaster and Falling down with Michael Douglas, or something. You may have something there, EG.

Actually I did a bunch of housework and then just got done doing yardwork right now...it's off to the inlaws for dinner and then a nice relaxing weekend (for once).
 
Boom Boom...the plot is simply a variation of "mistaken identity" but I like the twist. Jello and I talked about it a bit yesterday and came up with some additional stuff.
I'm gonna work on it some today.

In the meantime, enjoy this really big guitar.

I think I have some character outlines, backstories, and a basic setting stewing...
