Lenny's on a Monday

Okay, for any of you looking for a fun and educational time on a monday night.
I have just recently found out that Lenny's in Branford has a "Trivia" night on Mondays.
Bartenders, Jason and Patti, run this game. It starts a bit after 7:00 and goes approximately
1 to 1 1/2 hours. There are about 4-5 rounds of questions which you have to answer. You can be teamed up with others and you can talk amongst yourselves to figure out the answers. After all is said and done, the answers are revealed and correct responses get tallied and the winner is announced, to win the pool of money put into the pot for that night. It is a fun and brain tingling experience, which can be quite funny when you add in some cocktails. The food at lenny's is awesome and really worth a visit!

have a great day.

The Run

Good Morning
Well enjoy today and the sunshine, because starting tomorow til Saturday night
the rain will be with us
I guess to be positive, the flowers will bloom soon,
however, I am so ready for warm weather and SUN!!!
I ran the Veteran Race and finished top 15 , 26 minutes in total!
Funny thing, I see a friend of mine as I am warming up and walk over to chat
she tells me that she ran to the registration table from her home, was running the race
and then back home again....had to be a total of 10+ miles. I was sitting there contemplating how
i would be excited just to complete the course, and as I am talking to her, the Gun goes off, she is so in tune, becuase she's done this before, that off she goes and it took me about 10 seconds to realize the race had started! Well, with that I ran my best, and was excited to have completed my first official running race! I realize that it is not about beating others, but your own personal goal. Running for completion, time, or just the experience, is different for each person. There were several NEWBIES there and I wished them luck! They all finished and it was a great experience. So lesson to be learned here: try something new, try it for yourself, it only makes you feel good that you completed yet one more accomplishment in life.
Thought for the day:
"I release the rut of regret and the fear of tomorrow to make way for forgiveness, pleasure, beauty, and hope. I am empowered by my conscience and my gift is forgiveness!"

May you all have a wonderful Thursday!
