...Which is how a pair of my boxer shorts ended up in the garbage pail instead of the laundry basket," he wrote. "See, I was so caught up in pondering whether the lawn should get another dose of Weed & Feed that I lifted the lid on the garbage pail thinking it was our laundry basket.

She's going to get serious about running and try the Los Angeles Marathon just for fun. (A basket of ripe sweat socks to the reader who guesses how close to the women's marathon record of 2:21.06 she will clock on her first try; the guess here is 2:32.)
