Today's Quote:

'When it's over, I want to say all my life

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.'
~ Mary Oliver

Entry Task/ Brain Bender:

Mrs. Conn is complaining to Shadow that she is about to lose a bet she had made with her husband Art. She explains that Art had bet her $1000 that he would run 26 kilometers every Sunday morning for one year. Each Sunday, Art runs down the winding street through the subdivision and returns about three hours later, sweating and panting. Mrs. Conn is certain that Art is running to the local donut shop and waiting for the correct time to elapse before returning home. Shadow advises Mrs. Conn to take a measurement to find out for certain if her husband is running the distance that he claims. What should she measure?
