Following Neil Gaiman, Early Morning Runs, and other whatnot shenanigans.

I had to spell check Shenanigans because, as otherwordly as the word is, it still seems to have a proper spelling. I find that rather unfortunate because I was enjoying being liberal with my "a's" and "n's". So it looked like " Shanannigans!"   But I suppose the "e" does give it a little...something.

Last week, after reading Neil Gaiman's Anansi's boys, I made the exciting discovery that he has a BLOG. Since I have read almost everything there is to read by him, it was more than thrilling that to know that I could read something written by him EVERY DAY! Or whenever he blogs. Unfortunately, although his blog is interesting, it's rather unsettling to know your favorite author  is made of flesh and blood and meets producers, celebrates children's birthdays, and....edits.....works,ect.
But the tone, is more or less, the same, and although slightly taken aback that Mr. Gaiman is human, I am enjoying peeking into an author's life.

As an Afterthought.....Too bad Oscar Wilde never blogged.....though I suspect most of his material, though wildly funny, would not be very appropriate.

Oh. And addressing the middle issue of my blog title: I ran today. My body is now in that paradoxical state of being happily refreshed but pleasantly exhausted. 

I think I'll probably walk later on, and enjoy the sun while it lasts.  I always feel the end of summer expresses Carpe Diem best.
