Panic!!!!!

So thanks to Bresnan Cable for interupting the Simpsons with a sombre black screen saying CIVIL EMERGENCY ALERT ISSUED FOR ALBANY COUNTY, WY without any explination. I think my heart actually stopped for a second as my system was overloaded with images of Jihad terror raining down on poor little Laramie. And it made me miss a punchline. Bastards. The alert was followed by a cheery split second advert asking for books for schools or some such thing, like the world is going to end so you might as well be charitable and increase your chances of going to heaven. It reminded me of Dad's story about being in the car when the radio went dead. This was during the cold war, when any iminent nuclear strike would be announced initially by radio silence.
Poor sod, I can now imagine the terror that that loose wire must have caused..

I was so mad I almost shouted at a cable guy in the street today. But I'm polite and he was on the phone, it would have been rude to interupt.

Better news: I got a 'very good' on my intro chapter from Tim. I'm fully expecting a gold star or a smiley face next time. I can still remember the first gold star I got at school for my story about talking pinapples. What a great achievement.

Yet more running pictures... Sorry... this time from the half marathon. I'm so proud of my boy, looks a bit grey doesn't he?! :). I just look manic as usual, checking my time to make sure I got a PB... sad.
