Pancakes

This morning I woke up (at 5:41 like I do) thinking, "I want pancakes!" So I washed my face, brushed my teeth, pulled on my jeans and a t-shirt and off I went. Making pancakes for one person just is not possible, so I decided to go out for breakfast. I drove to the local Perkins, just a couple of miles down the street. I have two comments about this experience.
1) A short stack of pancakes and four strips of bacon should not cost 10 bucks. Especially when the pancakes are incredibly bland and they give you faux maple syrup to put on them.
2) On the drive home I saw about 300 people out for their morning run. I'm serious - all decked out in their short shorts or stretchy pants, sleeveless tops and good quality shoes, they were running in a long line. Some of them were pushing babies, others had their dogs and many of them looked to be having actual conversations as they jogged along the sidewalk.
Okay, so now I feel like a real slacker, no more early morning trips to Perkins for me!
