It is harder to come up with creative ideas before your first cup of coffee. I was thinking that I could just bang out one of these entries before I head off to work, but I’m not having much luck thinking about anything more than that I’m still tired. In such cases, I usually just start writing and hopefully something pops into my head.

Nothing in particular is popping into my head this morning. I was looking for some new running shoes yesterday and nobody had the pair I was looking for. While this was mildly annoying, I am at a loss to find the universal truth in that experience. Maybe shoe stores are not the best places to seek profundity.

Fortunately, I have to leave now. While this is poor for you, the reader, this is great for me. I can stop with all this smart thinking and get back to what's important to me right now. Breakfast.
