Joggling cash arrives

Author Denise Marek's $20 cash funding for my joggling career has arrived, along with her book, 'Calm,' which she generously included in the package for Dianne (it's written for women).


'Calm' looks like an interesting book. It's about teaching yourself to stop worrying about things and get on with your life.


It's true that people worry too much about what others think about them. I used to go joggling at 4 a.m. in a park so no one would see me. Eventually, I discovered that people were entertained by joggling and there was nothing to be afraid of. I thought young kids would throw rocks at me, but instead they cheered. It was a surreal contrast from my 4 a.m. "closet" joggling when I found myself joggling the Boston Marathon last year in front of one million spectators (and 17,000 runners).


So the question remains: What do I buy with my new found joggling fortunes?

You could do what they do in restaurants and frame it and hang it on your wall as being the first actually money you earned from joggling!

That's a good idea, but I don't think I could resist spending it.

You could buy one of those hats with a rear view mirror. It could help with the backwards joggling training.

Not a bad idea, Perry. Where does one find a hat with a rearview mirror?

rearview mirros are something that some Cyclists use.
