  3. I've got to stop cooking dinner when there is the slightest chance of a thunderstorm. Tonight was the third time this year that I had to turn off the stove in the midst of cooking and take the cat down into the basement thanks to a tornado warning.

    Fortunately the pasta didn't turn out as mushy as I was afraid it would get, and the sauce was still pretty tasty.

  5. Buying junk food at a Shell station in Newville, WI after a race.

    Cashier: Do you want a bag for that?

    Me: No. Actually, I just ran like 13 miles, so I'm gonna eat it in my car while I drive.

    Cashier: Oh, yeah. And try not to cramp up.

    Me: I got the heated seats on, so hopefully.

    Cashier: Yeah, good plan.

  8. Walking along the side of a county highway after a 5k. A guy in a red Prius pulls up behind me.

    Guy: Excuse me!

    Me: Uh--yeah?

    Guy (gestures at all the cars): What's the occasion?

    Me: Oh, there's a race. A 5k.

    (beat)

    Guy: Great!

    And he leaves. And I leave.

    I got second in my (new) age group and won a small pie.

  13. Guy at cafe: (songs a few bars) a little Ricky Nelson for you.

    Barista: I don't—

    Guy: You don't know who that is?

    Barista: I'm too young to have any culture.

  24. At my café 30 min later than usual and there are a lot of old people kibbitzing. Behind me, a group of old men started out critiquing the idea of what being within six months of death means and moved on to "does stretching increase your muscular endurance?"

    Their analysis of the second point is actually much more sophisticated than that of the first, surprisingly.
