A Penny A Mile

I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-lina-a-ling, call you on the telephone baby, give you a ring...
-The Georgia Satellites

I recently read in "Runner's World" about a gal who paid herself a dollar a mile as a reward for training for a marathon.  Well, I do way too many miles for that kind of budget.  However, the kind citizens of Rensselaer paid me a penny a mile this morning.  Thanks to help from the "Pink Flash" (pictured above) I picked up 18 cents around our fair city this morning.  I of course left it on the step of the CRC treasurer.  Sheila, you can make a donation in my name to the Human Fund.

  1. I'm so glad you're blogging regularly. I can't tell you the vast disappointment I suffer when I click on your blogspot only to find....nothing new. How 'bout a kiss a mile? THAT's within our budget!
