Nina and Shuli came over to play. They taught me a few new programming tricks. Left click, right click, drag, resize now print!

On my 2hr 10min run yesterday through Regents and Hyde Park I finished listening to The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. According to the literary expert at Wilder Elementary, better writing than the Harry Potter books. I can't compare as I've not read anything past the first couple chapters in the first Harry Potter book, but I will say that Pullman's style is engaging, clever and the fantasy aspects are plausible. The book was well narrated; first one I've listened to with more than one voice. And Pullman himself was the main narrator.

I did a very short run today, down to Runner's Need in Camden to get new shoes. Some cushy Asics. I just love the people in that store. They do customer service right. Take note, rest of London.
