Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 133)
Murray enjoys sleeping on top of the cable box because it’s warm. And while I realize that he’s probably going to eventually burn the thing out, I just don’t have the heart half the time to disturb him. I mean, check this out? Oh yes, he is actually sound asleep. Here’s a closer view. I have no…

Now I Know Why They Call It A "Stress" Fracture.
I run about 20 miles a week—sometimes more, sometimes less. But that’s been my average for a while. I love running. I run to avoid depression. I don’t take pills. (Not that I’m against doing so!). It’s just that running works for me. I run because it gets me high and makes me unbelievably happy.…
