     So I’ve been in Moscow for a few days.  I’ve been living in a hostel, sleeping in the bottom bunk in a room with eight other beds.  One of my friends here says that I should be living somewhere with more status instead of a place designed for students.  I say that I’m saving money.  

Do you mind?

           So today it finally dawned on me that while I am staying with Bill, I am right beside Valley West High School.  Therefore, I can use their track.  I was a bit worried that they might not want random Joes coming by and soiling their pristine athletic facilities.

            The day was full of rain.  I ran/walked for a good hour, quite unexcitedly.  I listened to Sunday’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” episode—it was nothing mush memorable.  I couldn’t run full speed.  My legs were hurting all the time.  Rest says the doctor—the doctor who lives between my ears.
