i’m running, even as i write this

Going away in the middle of a week is insanely difficult. The coordination and advance work are taxing to the max. I am in that treadmill period.

In running from one place to another, I came across this person on the Library Mall.

I asked him – so what cause are you representing? He said—just hugs. I didn’t fold into his arms, there is full view, but maybe I should have…

Tomorrow, after class, I’ll run to the bus that’ll take me to O’Hare where I will hop onto my connecting flights to London. It could be that I’ll find no posting opportunities until I get to London the next day. It could be.

I’m only in England for a handful of days, but I’m taking Ocean with me. How could I not… Drizzly wet England, London, Yorkshire – perfect for me at this particular moment, don’t you think?

    I think running on a treadmill beats running on a hamster wheel.

    I vote for being more free with your hugs, too. (Even given that when I'm alone, I'm more on guard/security conscious and not sure I'd be in a position to hug random folks, even while valuing random hugs... and having always been a fan of the truckers who blow their air horn when a kid like me makes the motion.)

    Nice picture!

    There's a famous "free hugs" guy thing on YouTube. Not sure how to make a link but it's here, when you have a second....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4
