Ouch, forty is here. I went jogging yesterday for the first time in months, so that made the rude awakening that much worse: my legs were tender and ached. I also sat on a back massager at my brother's while watching the NCAA Selection Show, so my back was aching this morning, too. I feel like a real old man.
Solid thunderstorms rolled through SW Michigan last night (and much of the Midwest, according to news reports). First one of the year for us. Old Max came trembling into our bedroom in the middle of the night, terribly upset and scared. You have to love the two-year-old's lack of annual memory. He didn't know what was happening. We got him settled down and he slept with us. When he tried to leave around 6:45, another thunder clap hurried him back into our bed.
By the way, you might want to check out National Catholic Register's new feature: Blog Watch. This is how the Register describes it:
Daily selections from the Catholic blogosphere. Readers will find blog excerpts on a variety of topics that interest Catholics. Some topics are humorous, others are hot, all are interesting. Blog Watch is updated every week day.
I hear they have an old 40-something guy with seven kids maintaining it. Might be worth watching.
