Well, that left me with a … “… and then” feeling. The individual professional photographer exhibits were reasonable, but conservative, while the curation of the competition left me wondering what the judges left on the tables after selection. The judges seem to be playing ‘safe’ with sets that highlight themes from previous years. It’s becoming…
5 years ago… seems like a century ago. Just before Covid. I didn’t listen to this kinda music. Hah! How things change!
So there’s that. Last night’s run, I cracked 10K/m and 9’20 in the 2nd one. So that’s some good news. I cycled slowly back home. I’m struggling between three Fitness Apps, each of which has shortcomings. Google Fit: its GPS is terrible, except when you track activities. So you gotta remember. It’s also somewhat rough…
Well, I managed to do another 2K run, with a time close to 10m/k. It’s not encouraging when the app calls it a fast walk!!! Oh, well, I dgaf. I’m gonna keep doing 10K until I’m able to do 9:30. Then I’ll do 9:30 until I’m able to do 9:00. That’s the way it works….

This is an outstanding performance by Bowie, and a singer I’d never heard of, Gail Ann Dorsey. Google her. She’s got quite an amazing voice! This is brilliant.

The factory is long gone — closed during a round of state-owned enterprise consolidation in the early 2000s — and demand for accordions has shrunk, but Shen remains, running a factory on…
Honestly. I’m not sure how far. I know I ran about 4.5k and walked a fair bit. Total 6.9k. Not a full run. But about 70%. Whatever. Still averaging around 10:10 per km. So not bad, overall. Short run tomorrow. Rest day on Thursday (depending on the weather). Long run on Friday. Biking on Saturday….
