Interlude...

In the words of Jack Johnson:

It's as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are as big

as her bubbly toes

on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards and her feet are all

covered with tar balls and scars...

He must have had me in mind when he wrote that song...Oh the woes of running. My feet are not going to be flip-flop "summer ready" for a very long time.

Calluses, blisters, and bubbles, oh my.

Run on ugly toes, run on!
