Over the weekend I went to a couple outdoor events. On Saturday I dropped by the Columbus Arts Festival and not only checked out the art, but also listened to some live music performances. And then on Sunday, I went to a concert sponsored by the Dublin Arts Council. I found it interesting that many of the performers I saw over the weekend mentioned their MySpace pages. MySpace has never really interested me that much—I guess it’s a generational gap. This blog is enough for me.

Speaking of this blog, tomorrow will be the one-year anniversary of my starting it. I didn’t really know what to expect when I started it, but I’ve found that it’s provided me with some motivation, especially in my marathon training. More than once, I’ve found myself thinking, “I can’t stop now—it wouldn’t look good in my blog.”
