Hello Meadberry,

So a friend of mine completed the Boston Marathon yesterday. I was there in spirit as I ate a pizza and drank a beer. I was thinking about running 26.2 miles, but decided I would wait until someone was chasing me. Maybe I will just drop everything one day and just run around the country like Forrest Gump. My friend said that one guy was running while pulling a cart with oxygen. I think if you need oxygen from a source other than the air, you should not be running in marathons.

The Little Projectionist had a “Nursemaid’s Elbow” this week. This is when the elbow pops out of the socket and causes pain. It is the first of what I believe will be many injuries over the course of the young man’s life. For now, we are going to learn how to pop the elbow back in ourselves so we don’t have to be at the hospital every time it happens. The only good thing is that when it happens he is immobilized. If he weren’t crying like crazy it would actually be kind of nice. You know I don’t really mean that, right?

This week we get three new movies. Fighting, The Soloist, and Obsessed try to give you one more distraction before Wolverine kicks off the summer movies next week. I really don’t have much to say about these films. I would promote The Soloist but Jamie Foxx said mean things about Miley Cyrus. Obsessed looks like the 2009 version of Fatal Attraction and Fighting looks like…fighting.

Now Your moment of zen:

“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across the great state of Alabama. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going.”
