Abrupt end

I am clearly not doing something right. Woke up with terrible cramps. That is over a week of something or the other dragging me down. Second time in my life that I can remember ending my run prematurely. After three miles, had to pull over. Nice Starbucks and sun though…

What???

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/06/testicles-yogurt-mice-probiotics_n_1489701.html

I have way too many questions. Which MIT student was so sloshed in beer that one night (s)he came up with this brilliant idea – I am going to feed the mouse some yogurt and then see what it does to the size of its testicles? Why yogurt? Why, of all body parts, the testicles? And how do you even measure them with so much precision that you can say they have grown? Are we done with solving all the other problems?

Quick NYC trip

Headed to NYC after a looooong time. Unfortunately – just for the dinner. And back super early tomorrow for a breakfast meeting in Atlanta. Not to talk about all those Delta snacks in between 🙂

Spanning generations!

First time I have run with two generations in the same family. 5 mile run with Rish (13 years age) today. Ran the half marathon with his mom Mita (of classified age :-)) in Dallas two years back. Rish plays football, basketball and track for his school (12 sec 100 yard dash). Probably explains why instead of my extra hot latte, I am having a caramel frapuccino with him at Starbucks 😉 — with Rish Basu and Mita Basu at Starbucks 9830.

HOTOT

Last night, before going to bed, Nikita and I were playing our usual jumble word game. I asked her to unjumble “HOTOT”. After a minute of thinking she asked for a hint. I said “You and I have both have it but I have more of it”. Promptly she replied “Apple products” :-

Drunkards flying…

Another proof that you may be on the road too often – as I check in at the Skyclub today, the lady asked me “where are your friends today”? Few minutes later, went to pick half a glass of wine and the lady at the counter asked me “where are your friends”? 🙂 once again proving that I am flying too much and count too many drunkards as my friends :-)— at Delta Sky Club DCA.
