A quickie…not that kind…get your mind out of the gutter. You all know that some things catch my attention and my mind, such as it is, takes over and runs rampant. This time it isn’t necessary…there’s no wild imagination working that creates a situation that could have happened but didn’t.

Friday evening I made some chili and Judy and Becky came over to watch a movie. If you don’t know Judy, she’s also known as the “Happy Snapper” (no off-color comments, please). She takes most of the pictures at our Sunday runs and many of our races and helps put them into some sort of order for our annual Trilander dinner. That evening I had to step in and take the pictures since Judy was the photographee (is that a word?).

Judy is the one, on our early spring and late fall runs when the temperature is in the mid forties, that runs in a tank top and shorts with her jacket tied around her waist when the rest of us have on long pants and jackets. We keep the condo at 67 degrees…just right for me and way too warm for Jean, but I pay the heat bill, so there. Judy came in and sat down in the chair next to the fireplace. As you can see, she has on her winter coat, a hooded sweatshirt and Jean gave her a wool blanket for her legs. Jean was already way too warm with the fireplace on and took her socks off. I was warm and was beginning to perspire. I had a knit long-sleeved shirt and flannel pajama bottoms on (the fly was sewn shut) and was about ready to peel down to my briefs and a t-shirt. And there was Judy feeling just about right.

Just so you don’t think she has gone the other direction and can’t stand the cold any more…this morning was 5 degrees above with a wind chill of 18 below zero and Judy went for a two and a half mile walk after the weather people had warned everyone to stay inside.
