Vanity

Left out a few things on yesterday. The big accomplishment, which wasn't so big, was replacing a dimmer switch in the dining room. Years of kids slapping at the round knob finally caused it to not work well. Replaced it with a nice sliding one with a nightlight on it. Yay me.

Also, as per the title, did a silly little thing. The moustache beard combo is nice and thick, but the beard is more salt than pepper. So I got one of those little boxes for people who listen to ads with Wilt Chamberlin and Keith Hernandez, colored the beard in no time. Looks natural, in fact I doubt anybody noticed. If my oldest hadn't brought up the topic (about me wasting the money on it) I am sure it would have gone unremarked. No reason for doing it...not like I am out attracting people, but I just felt like it should all be one shade. Of course, I could be attracting people and never know it - I am a bit dense in that area. A number of times I have found out after the fact that somebody was after me, and I never realized it. Yeah, a little dense is like saying a black hole has a little extra gravity.

Today at the Y I took a risk and put the treadmill up to jogging pace. Well, jogging for me - since my "normal" pace is like a 7 minute mile...only 5.5 mph. Was able to keep that going for 10 minutes which is my pre-upper body workout warmup. Looking forward to more running, and happy to be officially "in shape" if not in my weight goal.
