Can I first just say - I hate the new Gap commercials - I am very quickly getting sick of SJP. Having gotten that off my chest, I'll move to the weather - what is with the weather? Last year at this time we had green grass for crying out loud. It was nice out today - sunny and somewhat warm - but I am sick of winter! We had a very slippery run yesterday - a snow over a layer of ice.
I've been down with food poisoning today - a pretty low grade but I've been not been too energetic. I had an omelette and potato latkes last night - I think they were the problem.
Also went to see the movie/documentary 'Born Into Brothels'. It was excellent. The children and their photographs were amazing. It's a very gritty movie but colourful, noisy and hopeful all at the same time. I'm glad it won an Oscar.
Planning for the trip to New York is coming along well. One of the guys from our Thursday evening running club movie to NYC this weekend. Looks like I will have a Central Park running buddy while I'm there. I will really miss this guy - he was one of the most interesting people at work. This is a great opportunity for him though. We've lost two running club members over the last couple of weeks.
I also went to my first service at a Buddhist temple on the weekend. This is something I'm exploring.
Oh, I'd love to hear more about the Buddihst temple...do tell when you have some time!

Would love to hear more about the temple, too! Was it the one on Damen? Or the one down on Wisconsin? Am really wanting to check that out also. Please share more!

Buddhism seems very interesting! It's been 70+ degrees here so we're trying to figure out the weather too.

I'm with you, I hate the Gap commercials myself. They remind me too much of Old Navy, which I hate as well.
I've involved myself a great deal with Eastern religions and beliefs mingling ideas from each of them to create my very own hybrid of spirit. I do read a Buddhist Inspiration each morning. It's a wonderful way to wake up my brain, that and coffee of course. :o)

As a man who likes to spend about 10 minutes every 6 months shopping for clothes, I have to say both the Gap and Old Navy are godsends.
The commercials are another matter. I miss the SJP of Square Pegs, but I don't suppose anyone remembers that show.
