Happy Father's Day to all the fathers of the world! Today was pretty nice. Visiting my grandpa with my dad was cool, since I hadn't seen him - my grandpa - in a really long time. His longevity amazes me, what with his 60-year-old chainsmoking habit.
Sitting on an armchair in his smoke-filled living room reminded me of visits made when I was little, when Grandma would walk slowly in with the aid of Grandpa and her walker. I never really knew her too well, since she was sick pretty much all of my life, but I kept expecting her to come walking in today. Weird.
It's amazing to me how habits can form in such a short amount of time; so far this summer I've been running at least 5 days a week, and this past week was The Week of Major Slackage. Now I feel really icky, all because I haven't gone and run around the neighborhood for 3 days. I think I'll wait till it gets a little cooler to go de-icky myself, though.
In other news, Batman Begins is very cool. I highly recommend it, even to those who are as clueless about comic book superheroes as I am.
