I landed in Dallas late Tuesday evening, woke up early Wednesday morning and thought to myself…
OK sweet, what now?
So I decided to go for a long run—in shorts, I might add…and thought about how I so don’t miss that winter coat that I had been sporting for the past eight months. Then I thought about the middle-aged man in Manchester airport who chose to do his overseas traveling in pajama pants. Seriously. You’re pushing fifty and SpongeBob SquarePants is step repeated over your entire lower region. I'm all for casual, but come on...put on some chinos or man pants that are a little more...manly.
After my first trip to Wal-Mart (don't judge me, I had to buy a melon baller), it became apparent that all-things-casual (pajama pants included) are what my American brothers and sisters embrace the most.
Oddly enough, ASDA in Shipley is suddenly losing its weirdness.

at the risk of being "out of the loop", what's ASDA?
it's the weird grocery store in the town i used to live. it's owned by wal-mart, but not as massive as the wal-mart's that we see stateside :)
MB, we had our garage sale Saturday morning and I saw A LOT of PJ pants. Cartoon characters on grown adults was a popular choice there as well...
See you in a couple days!
well shoot, should just make it a pj party at virgina's....
You know, I'd almost forgotten that the very first thing I identified with on your blog was that you were a runner. (That's how much fun all the rest of it has been for the last couple of years.) A little (or a long) jog can go a long way towards clearing the mind, can't it?
So, welcome back to the colonies! I'm looking forward to checking in on the further adventures of the crumpet!
I can't wait to see you. I promise not to wear pajama pants... mostly because I don't own any.
Give me a call when things settle down.
that's what i've always loved about running...it's an instant feel good exercise.
sara, we'll talk soon! i'm headed to chicago this weekend, but maybe we can do lunch next week sometime?
What? All the way to Chicago? If you want any extra suggests on where to go for a jog or people watching, just let me know!
awe thanks, i love chi-town. i'll be about an hour outside of the city for a wedding, so not much time to spend in downtown.
