What a gorgeous...

day for Thanksgiving! Two of my friends ran the 10K this morning at 8am and the weather was absolutely perfect -- 67 degrees at 8 o'clock and we could not have been happier. The run went very well and was much easier than I anticipated. And I must say, it's a great feeling when you get home at 10 in the morning on a day reserved for a gorging and you've already had a great workout. The rest of the day was equally enjoyable; hanging with the family and having some fantastic wine. I didn't go crazy with food, just lots of turkey and a small dash of plain mashed potatoes. All things considered, I'm giving this turkey day the thumbs-up.

And this is why...

a person must maintain multiple phones... if you're on a GSM network at least. A friend of mine had her phone go out -- you know, when the only button that works is the "end" button -- and I had an extra (dare I say) black Razr sitting around (relax, she had a Razr already). Pop out the SIM in the old phone, pop it in the new one, and whammo you're done. Now, as everyone knows, had this been Sprint or Verizon we would have to call, tell them the new phone's serial number (or whatever), pay a fee, and then wait 4 - 24 hours for activation. So sad.
