I know that Newton proved a long time ago that gravity on Earth pulls on everything with the same force: 9.8 m/s^2 or 32 ft/s^2, but ask any runner about gravity and you'll get a completely different response. I'm sure that the "gravity fairy" came by and tagged me with about 2g's this morning. Physics was not playing fair and I think I know why. The culprit turned out to be a bottle of Martin Ray Russian River Pinot. It was sooooo good. I had two glasses, which I normally don't do the day before a run and the result was not only the gravity issue, but also I beat the tar out of my snooze button this morning. Maybe the equation for gravity is G=G*d, where d is the number of cocktails consumed the night before a run.
So while I was on the thinking about gravity this morning, I started to think about super powers. Why? Well I'd like to have the super power of gravity manipulation. Think about how powerful that'd be. Some time ago I want the ability to heal others, but then the cynic in me caused me to believe that I'd end up locked up in the White House somewhere taking care of George Bush's hemorrhoids. So I flipped back to the manipulation of gravity. Here's a question to y'all: What super power would you like to have? Let me know.
Now get back to work! After you ponder the above question.

My super power: the ability to make politicians answer questions directly and truthfully (a la Liar Liar).
Cop: You know why I pulled you over?
Fletcher: Depends on how long you were following me!
Cop: Why don't we just take it from the top?
Fletcher: Here goes: I sped. I followed too closely. I ran a stop sign. I almost hit a Chevy. I sped some more. I failed to yield at a crosswalk. I changed lanes at the intersection. I changed lanes without signaling while running a red light and *speeding*!
Cop: Is that all?
Fletcher: No... I have unpaid parking tickets.
[groans]
Fletcher: ... be gentle.
