Gouache

Yesterday I bought gouache to paint with. This will be the first time I'm using this type of paint. When I go to the art supply store again I'll be looking for paper to paint on. Whatever strikes my fancy.

March Out

I planned on moving by today. Then I wanted to put it off for a couple of months. Now it looks like I might try to make a move by the end of April. I just need to find a nice balance and then I'm gone.

Now That's Spring

Winter appears to be slowly fading away. It is supposed to be sunny and in the mid 50's today. Most of the snow & ice have melted. Easter is tomorrow and April Fool's Day is on Monday. Opening Day at Yankees Stadium against the Red Sox is just 48 hours away. Spring is in the air! A couple of day ago, I bought a new pair of running shoes. I plan to go out and see how they feel. A nice way to spend my Saturday.

Self Transcendence Marathon

Yesterday I registered for the Self Transcendence Marathon in Nyack, New York. This has to be the most trippped out of all the marathons I've ever been involved with. First of all, it takes place on a Thursday in August and runners go around a 3-Mile loop 9 times. I'm doing it because I've read the reviews from other runners and they liked it. This also fits into my running schedule with the New York City Marathon a couple of months later. I like the idea of a Summer Marathon too and I don't want to run Yonkers this year. I'm looking forward to this race.

Check That

I did get out there and run 7 miles today. It's my plan to finish this abstract painting I titled AMSTERDAM later on. These are just a couple of things on my checklist.

Set & Rise

The moon was very bright out there.
The night skies are clear.
The sun is about to rise.
Give way to the day.

Shopping

I'm going shopping today. This is the first day off I've had from work in almost a week and I want to purchase some items. At the top of my list is getting a pair of running shoes for the upcoming racing year. It will be either a pair of Nike or Saucony sneakers. I'll try them on at the sporting goods store. I want to stop by the art supply store and pick up some watercolors. I'll go into the music store and see about a strap for my bass. And I want to look into getting and iPhone. I don't own one yet. Shop till I drop.
