On only 3 and a half hours of sleep, I joined over 20,000 other Austinites to do the Komen 5k this morning. And since I walked to the starting line (to save the environment, get some extra exercise, and well, I figured why not?), all in all I did about 7 miles of walking before noon today. And then I promptly took a 4 hour nap once I got home. Sleep never felt so good.
I discovered today that my favorite place in Austin, Barton Springs is now free until it closes later this month for the winter. Thankfully Austin is having a very mild fall so far, today it got up to the mid 80's, so I can still swim there for the foreseeable future.
Less than a week before college basketball season starts up! Football is nice and all, but basketball is where the real men play. I'm pretty bummed I won't be in Gainesville for the start of it for the first time in 6 years, but here's to hoping for yet another basketball championship. GO GATORS!
Speaking of the Gators, I stumbled across this really interesting Fortune article about the Florida Boosters program and the millions of dollars that the top donors put into it to support football and basketball. One of the biggest donors didn't even go to UF or even a 4 year university, but just got hooked after attending a game in the mid 90's. The dollar amounts being given though are amazing...
Oh, and if you still haven't subscribed to the RSS feed, then you wouldn't know that I added some photos from the She Wants Revenge concert and Komen 5k.
I also added a web interface to add new posts, which makes updating really easy, and I can do it from any internet enabled computer. Also since I'm using Firefox which does automatic spell checking in forms, there shouldn't be any more misspelled words! Except the words that I make up, such as "Austinites" from above.
