John said...: I run on a treadmill, so my wife can always find me. But yes, it's important to be available.; 1:16 PM

John said...: I figure that a treadmill makes it easier because it helps discipline me to keep on going. So as long as I don't push any buttons, I don't have the option of slowing down.; 10:46 PM

John said...: Well, that's pretty much life in general. Except that I don't get a nice soft bed of pine shavings.; 7:54 AM
JD said...: Come to think of it, you are right. Everywhere you go is blaring music through a speaker. No peace and quiet.
