Last Thursday, a router busted and the good people at 369 Oak Street were without access to the internet for a whopping six days. SIX DAYS. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like too big a deal, but I challenge you to go for an entire weekend without accessing the internet in the comfort of your own home. It kinda sucks…more than I thought it would. I wanted to go to a movie, but couldn’t find movie times. I wanted to do a little research for my upcoming trip to Montreal, but couldn’t without walking to a bookstore. I needed a recipe for flounder dish I like to make, but couldn’t get to my bookmarks. I wanted the morning news on Sunday without leaving the house, but was thwarted. Hell, for all I knew there could be a black man running for president or the Lakers playing the Celtics in the NBA Finals. Oh, wait…that actually did happen.
Lack of internet nonwithstanding, I did manage to hit the pavement with the boys and we turned in the longest run to date at nearly 15 miles. I still can’t imagine tacking on another 10 to complete a marathon. Should be fun…and painful.
