1. I was running a few weeks ago, and someone asked me if I'd be running in the "fun run." I started laughing. There's nothing fun about running.2. Seriously, who puts the words "fun" and "run" together?3. When is the Bama game?4. I'm glad to see Bruster's stayed open this winter - i'm still going to Dairy Queen.5.

1. Favorite musical geek - I used to work production while going to Samford. I was the sound engineer for several concert halls here in town, including the Alabama Theatre.
