Spoiler Alert!

I love reading, and with Mike doing a LOT of reading for school, I have also been reading a lot more. I started reading this book:
I enjoy reading about history, there is only one small problem. Spoilers! Since its history, people already know how its going to end. So I was reading along, and I decided to look up who had been presidents before Andrew Jackson. And that's when this happened: 
Thanks Wikipedia! Now I know that he does win the re-election!, and that he tosses out Calhoun and runs with Van Buren as vice-president!

I told Mike about my run in with this spoiler, and he told me it was my own fault. Which might be correct.

Jogging and Jobbing

This is my life this week. Mike has had orientation to take up his days. So job hunting has been on my to do list.
I have also started jogging again! Its been almost 3 months since I broke my ankle in Alaska, and this week I went for my first runs. The first one was a short one mile in the neighborhood to get to see a little more, found out there is a Cheesecake factory really too close to the house. And my second run was here:



 That is Roosevelt Island. Its not too far from the house, but I did drive there. How long before I don't first think about driving, and walking or biking become the established more of transportation.
I ran about 2 miles this second time. My ankle still hurts, especially at the begging, and I still favor that leg. But its getting better each time I do it.
