What's this got to do with running?

Well, this has absolutely nothing to do with running. But I still wanted to mention it on my blog.

I was perusing through a bunch of different blogs and happened upon this photography page: http://leelikesphotography.blogspot.com/. Now, I don't know anything about photography or cameras, but I found it interesting because the photographer's descriptions of the photos weren't all artsy-fartsy or technical. It was just a blog written in the language of the common man about why Lee liked or didn't like something or found this or that thing interesting or whatever. Then Lee would take a picture or a series of pictures of something that would seem rather ordinary to everyday passersby and share something that he loves with people he doesn't know, neither for profit nor persuasion, but for the sole purpose of sharing his passion.

And it seems to me that THAT is what it's all about folks. Get excited about something. Do it all the time. Share it with others. That just sounds like a smart plan for life. And not to toot my own horn like I've got life all figured out or something, but that's what I'm aiming to do with my own blog and running. And I kind of smiled when I realized that I was following in the footsteps of this small-time photographer who seems to have it more together than most of the big-business millionaires I meet while I'm bartending at my fancy-pants, Italian restaurant. So, congrats, Lee. Keep up the good work.

And it turns out Lee is just a junior in high school.
