Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Feeling a bit better, and glands are less swollen. Worked from home, but did not run. Will likely be ready tomorrow. The air quality does not make me inclined to push it.

the air will clear out tonight hopefully. better not to run at all than to run when the pm 2.5 levels are like they are now so you picked a good time for some downtime. get well soon. PS- the packers were robbed. but what a game. too bad rodgers pulled a brent on the final play of the game. eerily reminiscent of last year with indy.

Now I know how Seattle felt when they lost against the Packers in OT in the playoffs. One bad play, and it was over. The thing is, the game should have ended two plays earlier, when Rogers missed a wide-open Jennings for a sure TD.

yes, I have fretted over that play as well. oh well next year we're going all the way. now all we have left for this year is to hope that brent goes down in a blaze of interceptions and fumbles. not that I will bother to watch though.

That Jennings play would have been awesome...
