The Art of the Day is: The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defence
This is the granddaddy of them all. When my old roommate (Sarah Brown of fiddlehead fame) introduced me to this book, and I needed it at the time, it segued into the idea of living each day as if it were an art, and that's where the idea of an art a day began. This was before I started reading the encyclopedia with a buddy (a daf a day [a daf being two facing pages in a book, referring to Talmud, which is set up like early hyperlinks, but I digress]) and before my friend started publishing her blog A Hat a Day. This is all to the good. Now all I need to do is apply this to other things as well, like exercise. A day at a time.

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your
own plate - Be yourself,
it's who you do best - Every problem has
a family
Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
